Relive the Music of Star Wars
When I was a teenager, I won the original Star Wars soundtrack album in a radio contest. I can still remember how excited I was just listening to that amazing score by John Williams. And once I saw the movie, I could see those incredible images played out in my head every time I put that record on.
Now, you can relive the original Star Wars soundtrack experience with a brand new 8-CD set. The Music of Star Wars: 30th Anniversary Collector’s Edition is an incredible set. Just look at what’s included:
The box contains eight CDs. Six of these are mastered from the Expanded Edition versions of the soundtracks from three Star Wars episodes:
– Episode IV - A New Hope (two CDs)
– Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (two CDs)
– Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (two CDs)
Each housed in a gatefold mini-jacket that is a scale reproduction of the original LP cover art.
The seventh CD is Star Wars: The Corellian Edition. This is a collection of the most popular Star Wars themes from all six episodes - on one CD, for the first time. The new recording takes its name from the Corellian System, a fictional group of “core worlds” at the heart of the Star Wars galaxy.
The eighth CD in the premium box set is a CD-ROM. Its digital artwork files faithfully reproduce all of the inserts - including gatefolds and posters - that were packaged with the original LP vinyl recordings of the themes from Star Wars Episodes IV, V and VI.
The Music of Star Wars: 30th Anniversary Collector’s Edition also includes:
– an exclusive new 15″ x 15″ fold-out poster celebrating Episodes IV, V and VI;
– three collectable 4″ x 4″ stickers, each featuring a four-color reproduction of the CD cover from the Expanded Edition soundtrack of one of these episodes;
– new notes on the history of the first Star Wars soundtrack; and
– track lists and credits for the CDs.
This is a set that will be under the tree in my house. I can’t wait to play those CDs, even without the warm scratches and pops of my old record album, I know they’ll bring back many great memories.
