Ok, I clicked on each indicated track number and set the pause to 0, seems to have worked just fine. :)

I've had a chance to listen to some of the Star Wars music. When I watched the SE, it had seemed to me that some of the upper frequencies in the music at the beginning of Star Wars were more prominent than they had been before, but I wasn't quite sure. Now after reading up on this here and listening to this new set, I can see I was right. It's like they emphasized the upper frequencies for some reason in the official soundtrack in the SE, giving it a bit of a bright harshness. ABC seems to have taken away this artificial emphasis and restored the balance closer to the original sound. So it sounds more like it did in the theater originally. It sounds smoother, less strained.

What do you guys think about this, is this closer in sound to the pre-SE Star Wars soundtrack in theaters and the original vinyl LP's of the soundtrack?

Thanks for the effort, ABC. :)
