Or at least Lucas ordered the analogue tape hiss removed. But for whatever reason those releases are un usable the high band information is gone.

But i listen to my LP, The first CD issue or the arista box and the clarity is there and the sound is not squashed like being brickwalled.

Too bad i needed to read an article online by a williams enthisiast years after i bought them to notice that something was very wrong. I always felt they were a bit off, but i never could figure out why.

The tops of the musical waveforms have been either overly softened comprssed or just plain chopped off.

This reminds me of why i have to get the guitar hero version of metallicas new album and not the cd which was ruined by Rick rubin as a deliberate creative decision. Just like They ruined Calfornication and stadium arcadium by the chili peppers. I have even gone back to some of my foo fighters albums and found them a victim of the loudness wars.

Note to music industry stop ruining music!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway this proves without a doubt that a demand to Lucasfilm for a remaster is needed, never mind the empire strikes back release being fucked from improper mixing as well. Only Star Wars is a perfect release. Jedi is also missing music that was on the anthology set. Someones need to tell LucasFilm to show a little respect to John Williams and pay for a fixed release. That and the laserdsic dump of the original films makes me more than a little mad with them at the moment. I guess its not worth doing to Greedo unless there is money to be made.
