I think you have sucessfully managed to calm down the harsch sound of the SE tracks to match the rest, but Deal With The Dark Lord and Betrayal is two tracks that is hard to comment on, and work on I guess... I think both samples sound better and a little worse at the same time...

Yeah I think you're right.

I just tried some variations on these ones and "Betrayal" looks now ok as possible: a little more clear and concrete the same time. For "Deal with the Dark Lord" it is possible I have something a little better but no more.

And I'm especially looking forward to the 'bonus' film version of the end titles... The flow during the Imperial March section just feels better to me in that version. But that's just my opinion.

Don't worry, the bonus film version on my set IS the restored RSO with the Alt March bit, as on the previous OE. I've corrected the pitch on the march (wich is wrong on the film mix on CD4 from the Anthology btw, then surely in the film too), and reedited it with the new restoration... And this time the edit is neat.

I understand your preference and I would prefer it too. But it is obvious to me now why John Williams never selected it for the soundtrack release: it sounds over-saturated. It doesn't exist a clean version of it. But don't worry, it works well.

Boy, I can't wait to encode these as 128 kbps mp3s! That's gonna be sweet! (joking...joking) ;)

If you wouldn't have added "(joking)" it would have been an excellent joke ! lol

Thanks for the comments guys !
