1980 Empire RSO 2 LP set (Released)
Time
Sorry skyjedi22005. I meant for this to be included with the last post I made. What I was going to say was that I have the 2 cd Polydor soundtrack. From what I remember none of the old vinyl OST's from back in the day had the Fox Fanfare. The cd DOES have the Cantina Band song (track #9 disc 1). I didn't have the 1st pressing of it when I was a kid. It was still the RSO version just not the first pressing. I'm not sure if the Polydor 2 cd set follows the first pressing of the vinyl but it does follow the LP I had years ago.

The Polydor 2 cd set does pop up occasionally on ebay.

as far as i know of of the missing tracks were included in the anthology set but resequenced to more acuretely follow the film. i myself wish the was a LP rip to cd for the two lp set, but that would probably be unessary because you have the anthology set, then the rca 2 disc empire, and then the sony 2 disc.

pdfs of the booklets from all three original star wars soundtrack lp's would be nice.

star wars did have a 2 cd release from polydor but was missing the fox fanfare, plus i think it was missing the cantina song and as far as i now did not exactly follow the sequensing of the lp set.

yes the original return of the jedi cd and lp are a disgrace i own them so very short in terms of tracks. and empire i wont even go there single cd with the tracks all out of order.

i have star wars on reel to reel as well as the story of star wars unused, wish i could come up wish the cash to get them transfered.

I’m sure alot of you know that the original ‘Empire Strikes Back’ LP soundtrack from 1980 has never been released on cd. Just so there’s no confusion this is the John Williams/London Symphony Orchestra version. The cover has Vader’s helmet set against a starfield. It was a gatefold cover with an attached booklet featuring photos from the film along with some notes from John Williams about each track. There was a butchered version of this soundtrack released years ago on cd. Only half the tracks were included. Does anyone know where I can get the un-edited version of this?
