The Empire Strikes Back <em>IMPERIAL &quot;AUDIOPHILE&quot; EDITION</em> - Restored &amp; Remastered Score - J. Williams &amp; LSO (Released)
Time

Excellent and eloquent post steb74 - I think you've summed up the way a lot of the posters in this thread feel about the quality of the work ABC has put into this edition of the soundtrack.

 

Pardon my ignorance here, but is the take 2 definitive version completed? I thought there were still some compression/uploading issues to be squared away and it has yet to be uploaded. If I'm wrong, please let me know - I'm looking forward to the revisions.

I'm definitely looking forward to downloading the new audiophile version once it's completed and ready. I thought the previous version was great, but anything that improves it further is worth the wait and effort. 

Now I don't feel as bad that I haven't had a chance to print the liner notes and covers from the original audiophile version.

Dark_Jedi &amp; ABC's - ESB: <em>IMPERIAL EDITION</em> - ART OF SCORING, <em>Restored Recordings against the B&amp;W GOUT</em> - JW &amp; LSO (Released)

Does anyone have a download link for this available or can anyone send me an invite to myspleen to get it? I'm not a member there and it doesn't appear that they have open registration. From what I understand that's the only place to get it right?

I just checked out the samples and really dig the work. I like the option for isolated soundtracks on DVD's. I like listening to soundtracks and letting my imagination take over, but sometimes I like official visuals to go with it.

If anyone can help me get a hold of this, I would appreciate it - Thanks!

 

**Scratch That - just found it on tehparadox - forgot to check there!**

The Empire Strikes Back &quot;1980 Theatrical version&quot; Reconstruction - Adywan (Released)
Time

Thanks for info on the file size. I was afraid of that, which is why I'm not a huge torrent fan either. Especially since this version of ESB is more important to me than any official Lucasfilm release since the remastered THX widescreen VHS tapes.

I also figured there was no way that Adywan used CSS on the file, which keyed into the fact it was modded in some way. I had to save the file as an image, mount it, re-rip it to get a new TS folder and then finally burn it. It was worth it to see the work and it didn't take long, but I'm going to get the full file from AvP as recommended. This is too important not to have the best format possible.

I picked this up from the torrents over the past few days and it's a real beauty. It's amazing to see this film as it should be seen - fully restored and unaltered. Can anyone confirm the file size though - I just want to make sure it hasn't been modified from the original. For some reason it had CSS protection when I tried to burn it. I got around it though. It came in at 3.79 GB. Sound right?

J. Williams &amp; LSO, The EMPIRE STRIKES BACK <em>AUDIOPHILE EDITION</em> - Restored &amp; Remastered Score (Released)
Time

So far I've only had a chance to listen to this on my Mac - sounds amazing! I want to listen to this on my stereo, but I'm out of CD-R's to burn it.

Speaking of CD-R's, does anyone have any recommendations for high quality discs - the kind this set deserves? I'm not looking for the cheap Memorex stuff you buy at Target or Best Buy, I'm talking the type of discs those in the audio industry would use. Any insight would be appreciated.

As far as the CD case, I'm planning out the best way to print this package. I'm going to work on some sketches and figure out how I would like it to go together. I would like to avoid adhesive sticky-back printing, so I'm exploring how this could be printed on one piece of card and assembled into a three CD book. If I come up with a layout that works, I'll share it here.

Believe it or not I've just stumbled across this thread. I've been checking out orignaltrilogy.com on and off for some time, but have never registered for the forums until finding this thread. I'm familiar with fan edits (thanks to first discovering Adywan's work, and then others), but this is the first I've noticed re-mastered fan audio. 

Please don't tell me it's too late to get in on this Audiophile Edition of ESB. Out of all the Star Wars OTS CD's I have (and I have them all) I have been waiting for a top quality set like this to be released and of course it never is. It's kind of a shame that fans have to take these issues into their own hands to get the quality they deserve. Although on the other hand, it makes for an amazing project crafted from nothing but love for the material and the quality and that really isn't such a bad thing. 

I'm dying to listen to this beginning to end. Who do I have to beg to get a copy of this audiophile quality album? This needs to be in my collection! The praise of the music and the graphic quality of the inserts is just too impressive to not have a copy I can spin for myself.
