OK, someone has graciously sent to me the 1986 CD release I was begging for. ... Thanks again man, if you read me !!!...

And now that I've heard some of it, may I come back to this:

The CD has the same problems as the 70's source tape as remarked upon in the anthology book i think by Lukas Kendal.

... MY ! Have you only ever give a listen to it ?!!! If you want to feel the wood, the brass and the strings, it is THE Star Wars recording in its excellence. There's no so much to do it seems to improve it, however I don't say it'll be an easy task.

I'm not gonna work on it before a while, but I may post a sample just for the pleasure if I have a chance to give it a try.
