Three things:
ABC Said: "It's great to see someone able to loggin to this site only to offer such a help. And I'm honoured it is about my work on this set. Thank you very much, and thanks for your kind words."
Actually, I had an account at OT.com probably five or six years ago, however I couldn't remember the password, and no longer had access to the original email account, so wasn't sure about how to get that changed, so I signed up for a new account. Didn't matter anyway, since I don't think I ever posted with the old account! But you're welcome. Your scores deserve to be spread around, so anything I can do to help. And that includes your new Imperial Audiophile Edition. Looks like it will be a bit of a process to upload (5 discs? I'm drooling already!), but I'd be willing to help out. Just sayin'..
Easterhay Said: "So, these are the remastered scores from 1997, yes?"
No. These are the scores ABC remastered. Read the first post of the thread to find out more about the project. I think he used the 1997 scores (or maybe their 2004 versions), in addition to the 1993 anthology, to come up with the best-sounding versions of the original trilogy scores. But these aren't the 1997 special edition scores as originally released, no. You'd also talked about setting up a trading vine, and while I've been one before (for both Phish and Grateful Dead concerts), I'm not sure it's all that viable an option anymore. For one, it was excellent back in the days before high-speed Internet and bittorrent, but now that we have what we have today (Megaupload, Demonoid, Usenet, and forums in which to point people to where the files are), I'm not sure a vine is necessary. But ask around, I could be wrong! :-)
BillyBoy35 Said: "Thanks mate, your a legend, much appreciated... Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier but FLACS are just what I was after. I'll be sure to re-up in future if the links go down, but from the sounds of it you've got it covered. Thanks again for yours and ABC' efforts."
No problem, and phfff... not a legend, only an uploader. :-) No problem not getting back to me sooner. And thanks for the re-upload offer. I totally don't expect my uploads to exist forever. Probably longer than would be expected if I had uploaded directly to Megaupload or Rapidshare, but certainly not forever.
