msycamore said: Well, "The Rebel Fleet" (aka Finale, sourced from the edited film mix) on disc 2 on the anthology sounds so different from the beginning of the track to the album version with its clear strings coupled with the info I posted earlier that I thought it was another recording and I'm still not entirely sure about it, (maybe because of the different quality in the mix).

Good point though. I had a doubt and just checked it. The strings are indeed left a little behind on the RSO version. I also noticed a hardly hearable cut at average 34 sec or so... We learn every day !

Also noticed I could have grabed those first notes from the harp at the beginning ;).

May I suggest you compare every three versions of another cue (SE/Antho/RSO): "Han and The Princess". The mix is so different on each that not only they look like different takes, but even the instruments sound as if they were different ones. The ten first seconds will be enough.
