Hi,
Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome optimum edition of the ESB score, you did a great job with it, it sounds great.
I just wanted to know if there are links to download from this thread.
Thanks again for all your efforts.
Kind regards
Bill

Sorry for the last reply, I didn't get it... Actually "we" answered to your question right in the posts that precede yours.
Disregard Thx, I found them :) Good Job!
Hey,
A forum had your music, but the ROTJ Flacs were the only ones with a non-operational link. Would it be possible to have these uploaded. Your help is appreciated.
thanks Alot

(Removed Link!)
I'm not sure if direct links are allowed to tehparadox. But I might be wrong.
EDIT: Per this page, I think I'm right.
They're not. Please remove it, Billy, and tell him via PM.
Hello, Im new to this board. Im a fan of JW and especially StarWars and classical music.
I've been trying to get those files also, but the links are not working for the
ROTJ CD1 and CD2 Flac
from: RETURN OF THE JEDI
(From the ANTHOLOGY + the SPECIAL EDITION)
and also this: ORIGINAL LP TRANSFERS: RSO SW FLAC.
Could someone provide the links?
Thank You!
ROTJ is my favorite score of the 1st trilogy.
The last part of my post remains in black. How do I change font color?
Thank you
This forum has the occasion problem with fonts/colors/formatting/etc... Can't really do anything about it other than the note you made about it in your next post. :p
If Moth3r reads it, he may fix it - happened to me once.
Hi,
I'm amazed some of these links are still alive after all that time. Sorry for the unavailable RotJ, perhaps try later cause these links were still working a month ago. Perhaps someone will be kind enough to reupload something , cause between the effort on the sound + the launch on the internet + the "advert", I can only consider I've done enough :)
- Regards.
Can somebody reupload ROTJ?
or the SW LP?
=|
thanks
Hey,
The Star wars LP is working fine: http:/www.megaupload.com/?d=KPNZT350
If your having issues let me know and I'll re-upload it as I was able to download it. Otherwise if anyone can do the two ROTJ CD's that would be greatly appreciated.
I had your PM Billyboy.
A re-upload is too much effort for me and my equipment, man (you have no idea!). And I upload only once, that 's my rule, hoping someone who consider himself lucky enough to have grabbed it might help you.
That said I believe the OT ST Salvage is up on the Alt. Binaries SW- a foreign place to me... Then you may find the RotJ set you're looking for.
Someone can confirm or help ?...
Can someone please reupload ROTJ ?
Please?
The ones you upped to Megaupload probably still work, ABC.
I saw it has been removed for legal reasons. (That's also a reason why I only up once...).
That's weird. I'd expect it from RS (especially now), but not MU.
Another reason why ambiguity is good. ;) It could be called 'vacation videos' or something, but we'd know what it was.

There's no "static" on the internet my friend. All is always in motion. What seems normal for you and free today will cost you a lot in the future ! ... And I don't think it's pessimistic from me. haha ! ;)
Hi Ripplin,
Do you have a copy you can re-upload for us mate. I'd appreciate it. Thanks :)
So, have you been able to get some help ? Just interested to know if I'm the only one who have cared uploading this stuff once...
If you use Usenet, all three scores are still available (assuming your Usenet provider has decent retention, which most seem to these days). Following this link takes you to binsearch, where you can search Usenet. I've tailored the search so you can see just the Return of the Jedi tracks. You can create a Newzbin file (nzb) from this page, and feed that into your Usenet binaries downloader, and you should be good to go. If you don't use Usenet (and I know a lot of people don't), I've found that Astraweb is a good deal. For ten bucks you can download 25 GB of stuff, stretched out over however long a time period you want. Or if you do a lot of binaries downloading, you can get unlimited downloads for ten bucks a month. GigaNews isn't insanely expensive either, and I believe they at least used to offer a free three-day trial, so that's worth a look.
Anyway, the links to the search that will show you the Return of the Jedi (in FLAC):
These aren't my uploads, but someone told me a while ago to search Usenet for *XS* OT Remastered Scores, and there they were. All three scores are actually there, but since you were only looking for Return of the Jedi, I tweaked the search that I linked to so you'd only see it.
Hope that helps!
Eric
P.S. If you (or anyone) is looking for a program to download Usenet binaries (after getting an account with Astraweb or GigaNews or somewhere), SABnzbd gets a lot of good reviews. I'm on Linux and use LottaNZB (and have used Unison on Mac OSX in the past), but SABnzbd seems to be well thought-of, and also runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. SABnzbd.org should tell you everything you need to know about it.
P.P.S. I forgot to mention, but if you click on the poster's name at the previous link, you'll also find the two LP rips released alongside the trilogy remasters. And, The Empire Strikes Back Audiophile Edition is also on Usenet; just follow this link for another binsearch Usenet search:
That's all. I promise! (Unless I think of something else)

Incredible !
I suscribed to this forum once to share my work here, with people - as I already said - who has already paid, and don't want to pay more for having those scores in a descent shape.
But if there's one thing I haven't subscribed for, it is to feed those supermarket places ! I yet don't like it when they're free, but what to think when they're not !
I see the source of the download is from the SW alt bin. and I don't think this one sells anything. I just don't understand why one should pay this other site for sucking from the Alt bin group then. Besides, I also saw the "Audiophile Edition" is available through this... thing.
... My jaw falls.
Anyway, that gives me reason on something: if you don't want to "share", you're gonna pay.
Thanks for the explanations.
PS: Any thoughts from anyone about that is welcome.
Here is how newsgroups work:
Let's say I post a message to alt.fan.starwars, which is a discussion group about Star Wars. The copy of the message I post goes to my local server, which is part of a huge network of servers, and each server copies everything that goes through it to all the other servers it "talks to," until every server has a copy. Now, with discussion newsgroups, this is simple, because those discussions happen in plain text, which takes up very little bandwidth or hard drive space. Because of this, access to text-only newsgroups (such as alt.fan.starwars), can easily be had for free. In fact, Google even lets you browse text-only newsgroups. But you can't download music or videos or anything using Google's free access. But that's just for discussions.
Without the downloading, newsgroups are basically the original message boards (they really aren't that much different from OriginalTrilogy.com). In fact, if OT.com had been started fifteen years ago, it would likely have been a newsgroup. The one main difference is that OT.com requires people to sign up for an account, while newsgroups are really like public bulletin boards. Anyone can post a message that anyone can read and anyone can respond to.
With content like music, videos, audiobooks and similar "stuff," on the other hand, things work a little bit differently. The newsgroup alt.bin.starwars is a binaries newsgroup (the "bin" in the name stands for binaries), so you won't find any discussion at all, only movies and soundtracks and poster and comic books scans and audiobooks and stuff like that. THOSE kind of files take up huge amounts of room, so it's typical for most local servers to delete those files after only a few days, if not sooner. This quick deleting would make newsgroups lousy places to share content, since the content would be gone almost immediately.
However, there are companies (such as the companies I mentioned, Astraweb and GigaNews, along with others), who make copies of every single bit and byte of information that is posted, and store it on their own servers. The big draw for people to use those companies is because they have incredibly long retention rates. As an example, Astraweb now offers 742 days of retention, and GigaNews is advertising 752 days of retention, so in both cases, something posted today will still be available from them two years from now. In the case of your Salvage editions, someone going as "Bullzeye" posted them 480 days ago, and someone going by "CBA" (your moniker but backwards?) posted them more than two months ago. And they'll be there for a while.
When you pay for Usenet access, what you're basically paying for is the convenience of gaining access... not access to any specific content... but access to the content that they have backed up and stored on their servers in order to make it available to you long after it would otherwise have been deleted. And yes, if someone signs up only to get a copy of your work, then that's kind of the same thing, but that's not really how they operate. They just charge per Gigabyte of download, no matter what you're downloading.
So, to answer your question about why someone should pay in order to download from alt.bin.starwars, I guess it's because paying for newsgroup access really is the only option. If there were no groups like Astraweb or GigaNews, the content would be deleted almost immediately, in order to make room for more content. There are probably still some Internet providers who provide free access to newsgroups, but most have cut off access. Mainly this is because there is so much "stuff" on it that not only would it require a huge amount of bandwidth, but they'd probably get sued for copyright infringement.
If you're not familiar with usenet/newsgroups, what I was suggesting probably sounded pretty off-the-wall, because you're right, alt.bin.starwars doesn't charge anything, but really, that's just how newsgroups work. Ask around to people who use the newsgroups to transfer files back and forth. In browsing through alt.bin.starwars, you'll actually see a lot of fan edits (some of them labeled "beta," because I assume one person working on an edit is using the newsgroups to send it to someone else working on the same projects), while other people are sharing different audio tracks (again, likely to be used in fan edits). I can almost guarantee that those people have either purchased an account with one of the companies I mentioned or are lucky enough to have a school account where newsgroups access hasn't been shut off yet. :-)
Hope that helps explain how newsgroups work!
