I am not sure that I understand what you are referring to.

I'm not sure what you're referring to, either...  You mean about the higher quality master tapes for Jedi?  I've read on this forum and elsewhere that higher quality master tapes for "Return of the Jedi" were recently discovered.  See below.  Thanks for your reply, too.  I hope you just misinformed on what you read about those Max Rebo songs being lost forever.  I'm kind of in denial about that.  Although, I'm sure copies of the tapes were made.. after all weren't 3rd-4th generation masters used for the "Return of the Jedi - Special Edition" album?

I hadn't heard about this before- where did you find out about this?

I read a post on here about it and on other sites, but they didn't really go into much detail about the discovery.  Here is the original post by GoodMusician.  He seems to be the expert on this stuff.  I never realized that the "Empire - Special Edition" album was incorrectly mixed until I read his post.  He talks all about it in his letters to people at Sony.  He also mentions that the complete masters for Jedi have supposedly been found... except for the currently unreleased cues.
