Just to clarify in case there's any confusion about that Skywalker Sound letter included in the auction, the missing 16-track Music Master tapes (which were used for the '97 album of Star Wars) Lucasfilm were trying to locate back in 2007 is not the master tapes in this auction. That said, I really hope these end up in the right hands.
But you still have to wonder how the hell those 16-track master tapes were lost after they worked with them in '97.
John Neal passed away in 2009 btw.
