Thanks for the link cap'n! Interesting reading.
The first CD I ever bought was Return of the Jedi when it first came out, I don't remember when. I liked it a lot, but thought it was weird that the tracks didn't go in the order that they came in the film. Also I was a bit disappointed that it seemed quite a few tracks weren't included, but for some reason Lapti Nek was included.
Then I bought the 1993 set and loved it. Tracks were in the right order, and lots of new tracks were added. I'm not a discriminating listener, but it all sounded good to my ears. The substantial booklet was a nice bonus. Unfortunately, the set got lost or stolen at some point along with half of my CD collection. By that time the 1997 SE CDs were out, but I didn't bother with those and hunted down the 1993 set and bought it again. And there was much rejoicing.
I think my favorite tracks might be Imperial March, the Asteroid Field, and The Return of the Jedi.
