Hi,

I was wondering if it would be worth making again such a restoration project. The ESB OPTIMUM has taken far more time than I thought in the beginning as there are always some new details revealing with time.

My idea for the moment, rather than running into the entire score, remixing all the parts edited together etc, is more to select the best cues both from sonic and scoring point of view for everyone to be able to appreciate at least the heart of the score on a 1CD set of about 76/78min.

I already worked on the Anthology and the SE versions as many of you know and many said it was “cristal clear”. Thank you. From my point of view it lacked of depht on more than 3/4 of the set and the clarity I brought seems to me now a little abusive.

I can’t say if I’ll finish the project, matter of time as you know.

I only launch the idea for now as I learn a lot of things with ESB, and also because I know that with the right selection for the tracks on ROTJ, things may go fast. For instance the RSO ESB CD album has been remixed entirely for the “Optimum Edition” in less than one hour. Managing the whole set with the other sources was much more time consumming.

Btw, if anyone has the RSO CD of RotJ, just leave me a sign please. I don’t know what it sounds like (potentialy speaking) and I haven’t find any reseller who had it since a while.
