Alright, I will not be doing TPM, only this one, and perhaps ROTS.
This is an expanded version of AOTC, I notice that this score gets a lot of flack, which is quite a bit undeserved IMHO, in fact this is one of my favorite of the SW scores, so I decided to right that wrong, for I felt that the reason this score is disliked by so many, is the fact that there is only an hour of music presented, from a 2 hour score.
So I decided to right that wrong, here is 2 hours of music, from the pen and baton of the Maestro John Williams.
V2 features enhanced transitions, removal of tracked music, some notes/bars/measures that were dropped, and edited replications of alternate versions (End Credits etc.)
(For the “Remastered” version I have used a EQ curve to create a bright sound not too unlike Jurassic Park, and the early 90’s scores recorded by Shawn Murphy)

V2 changelist:
1. Star Wars Main Title and The Arrival At Coruscant (3:00)
The Main Title, the last note is extended a little from V1
2. Thwarted Attempt (3:20)
The transitions are a little smoother than in V1, plus I restored missing measure using editing and pitch shift
3. The Meeting of Anakin and Padme (1:25)
I removed a section of tracked music around 0:25
5. Zam’s Dirty Trick (3:34)
I was able to use editing to remove some SFX that were embedded in the Bounty Hunter files I used, resulting in a little bit more music than in V1, I removed some tracked music since V1.
6. Zam Chase (3:36)
The “phase errors” that occurred because of bad crossfade alignment are gone!
7. Zam In Pursuit (3:18)
See above
8. Zam Is Eliminated (4:02)
Went with the album version for V1 (see why below)
9. Palpatine’s Plotting (2:10)
Removed tracked music, shame that the real version of this cue has not leaked, it had a great version of the Force theme I am told.
11. The Library Scene (1:12)
Smoothed a edit for V2
13. Approaching Naboo Palace (2:25)
smoothened
15. Visiting the Prime Minister (0:37)
Tracked music removed
Disc 2:
24. Across The Stars (3:09)
Used the Kunzel ending.
25. The Spare Canister Caper (2:11)
Smoothened
26. The Arrival At Tatooine (4:12)
Changed the clean ending a bit
27. Obi-Wan Eavesdropping (2:46)
New clean opening
29. Exacting Revenge (1:21)
Changed the clean ending a bit
33. The Commerce Guild Prepares For War (1:03)
Added a silence in between the two sections.
37. Love Pledge (2:44)
Changed the ending point.
38. Entrance of the Monsters (4:23)
Changed the opening point.
39. Padme Falls (2:15)
Cleaner, and has the orchestra hit
40. Dooku Vs. Obi-Wan (2:36)
Edited closer to how Williams intended
41. Yoda Strikes Back - Special Thanks to GoodMusician (2:31)
Edited closer to how Williams intended
42. Finale (5:24)
Looped strings to sound better.
44. Attack of the Clones Suite (4:23)
From AOTC Promo
45. Finding Kamino (Original Ending) (0:23)
From album
46. Zam Chase/Zam In Pursuit (No Guitar) (1:01)
Edited slightly differently this time
47. Rainy Ramp and Anakin’s Nightmare (Alternate Orchestration) (0:35)
Same as above
48. The Meadow Scene (Alternate, EDIT) (2:13)
An edited replication to give an idea of how the alternate cue sounded.
49. Entrance of The Monsters (Sweetener) (0:09)
The bit of music that was used in the film version of Zam is Eliminated, GoodMusician thinks it was the Sweetener, so I label it as such here.
50. Finale (Partial Alternate) - Special Thanks to GoodMusician (5:11)
Using a bit of the original cue that was used in the Promo “suite” GoodMusician was able to edit it closer to how it sounded, though a section is still missing, I replicated that section by using a similar sounding section in the Revised insert using the Imperial March.
51. End Credits (Gelb Version, EDIT) (5:22)
An edited replication of one of the “unused” variations of the end credits.
52. End Credits (Updated Gelb Version, EDIT) (6:40)
Same as the above
