Funny you should mention this. Last weekend I found an LP of Return of the Jedi. I put it on, not expecting much since I never thought ROTJ was as good as ESB for the score--but my god, it was amazing! The quality--I was hearing things I had never heard before, nuances that I never knew about! The sound had such ooomph to it, and clarity. In particular, the track where the rebels come out of hyperspace and run into the death star shield--the war drums and trumpets and everything here makes it sounds like something out of Holst's The Planets, or almost something Wagnerian. It was like hearing the soundtrack again for the first time. Lapti Nek still founds like the bad early 80s disco funk song that it is though, lol.
