e.g.: I don't know if you know this early DDD-recording from 1990 
It contains an extended "Throne Room and Finale" track (7:57 min.) and it might includes tracks that might be "optimum". However "it's a Sony" ...

Hehe, indeed it has. The "Throne Room and Finale" from the Skywalker Symphony Orchestra is a very good track and you can compare it right away with the London Symphony version on the... Let's go for a big advertising:

THE OT SOUNDTRACKS SALVAGE ? 8CD's

Lol !

But I think the SSO version is no more match next to the LSO version as rendered in this set. Please let me say I especially love the SW score as I did it for this project, when it seems most people are more excited by the (almost optimum though) RotJ.

The bad thing is that all the bonus tracks in the "OT ST salvage" where lossy. I bought the Sony CD since though (and also the C Gerhardt, be assured). The Optimum track to meon the SSO is Leia's Theme (as for the score)... And the best from it in general are the SW ones besides and the peaceful themes.
