Not sure either it think it was 1993 arista records boxset called anthology. Note even empire strikes back on that set has reversed sound channels. But good musician and others have found ways to fix this i think.

I have all the sets and its the only way to have all the music unfortunetely. Good thing someone on these boards did his best to fix jedi but as the tracks from the special edition have the flaws in the source there is little that can be done to fix it. The sounds been squished do to too much pre-mastering.

The tracks on the fan release from the anthology even on my cheap set up are easy to tell the difference from the SE.

ABC's set he made is from both the anthology and the special edition.

I myself am going to make my own CD compilation Strictly from the original cd release. And the arista anthology. Too bad my boxset is scratched to hell ive had it since 1993 and they have probably been played at least a hundred times. Had i known back then i would have bought another sealed copy. OUT of Print and no longer available according to Amazon. Too bad i was going to buy one.

You would think digital noise reduction and hiss removal is a good thing right? The special edition version sounds clean but is muffled sounding, the arista has analogue noise. Guess what i prefer somes pops and tape hiss over the music being overly compressed and muddy sounding. The fact that this passed QC is a joke.
