RE-SCORING THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK:
THE 1980 FILM VERSION edit
The Empire Strikes Back score edited for the film is slightly different to what it is on the releases, everybody knows that. But in what is it different, what was really used and was not and for what reason ?… Hard to know with such a complex score. I always thought it was just full of simple cuts, and I was wrong.
The music has been sometime cut and faded, but also some scenes have been sometime re-scored through editing for a very efficient and enjoyable rendering of the scene.
The film version avoids repetitions of alternate segments you have put together on the entire score presented on the SE’s. Indeed, the score may appear quite heavy in its complete form compared to what you hear in the movie.
The present set has been edited from the OT Soundracks Salvage & Restoration (except for the new concert versions), and most of the volumes have been revised and so the whole of it has been now fully equilibrated from this point of view. Some tracks has been once more, but slightly, re-equalized.
… Note that what you’ll find here is not a complete score though there’s very few missing, but I guess if anyone wished to make a real complete score, there’s no doubt he’ll find here the last missing pieces to his collection !
Anyway, there’s no better experience than listening for yourself to make your own idea.
Before you ask any question, you’ll find some more infos by playing this new game: that’s called “hit the smiley !”… It’s quite a little hidden but it’s here.

Thanks for this!
Will tell you what i think once i finish listening to them.
“Always loved Vader’s wordless self sacrifice. Another shitty, clueless, revision like Greedo and young Anakin’s ghost. What a fucking shame.” -Simon Pegg.
Here is a better backcover (I think), the one I wanted to make... Here. And, an ultimate one here.
... And sorry for my twin profiles ! :)

I am also listening to your ESB FSV 2 CD set,listening to all these tracks makes me want to do a alternate film score for my DVD's using your audio,but I have a feeling this would be pretty hard to do,but would be cool.
Thanks to give me an occasion to recall that topic back from the dephts ! I'm glad to see someone takes advantage of this version. Looks like it has gone unoticed.
Of course, use it if you want. Go ahead. ;)
Also this set may be a good complement to the new restoration project. You can now get rid of the OT soundtracks salvage 1st version and still have these dynamic remixings at hand. A bunch of tracks sound indeed wider and more powerful than the new version if the goal is to blow your speakers ! :)

"if the goal is to blow your speakers !"
absolutely BLOW the speakers LOL,the more rumble the better,but a clean rumble.
oh this sounds very cool!

bump !
... For the best Tomlinson mixes rendition so far, I'd suggest that one. ;) (link on CD2 track 14).
Not perfect as it was my first "true" edit but not bad, and the sound holds on all the line next to the Anthology. Otherwise check my OT Soundtrack Salvage... And bump the thread !

Thanks for the upload!
We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions.

How did I miss this topic? This sounds great! But I am a bit confused, how do I get to hear this? Where can I find it? Can someone help me out?

The reason is simple: no feedbacks ! I just bumped it two days ago.

Sorry, I thought "undirect links" where ok, notably when they are given as there: through an image. I'm on my way to remove the "Optimum Edition" then.
I can't do anything about the actual one (remember I gave up that profile), only you can.

Sorry but I never upload twice and I don't keep the links, now you'll know. All that I do sometime is to bump the thread mostly when it looks to have been unnoticed, like this one (it is older than the OE).
Now Frink, if you want to consider DJ and I as "rivals" because we had a few words some time ago... Well, that's what I call sticking in the past ;)
Grow up ! (...Yeah, that's the guy who post some boobs and ass pictures in your thread who says that. Frink is mad at me because of that and even have me on "ignore").
PPS: DJ... Always those f**king signatures... Anyway, once more: thanks for helping. :)
