Please forgive this, but this is one place I know for sure to be populated by people of a certain age, and with a taste for sf and movie music, who might be able to answer this, or let me know where to look.
Mods, I will understand if this needs to be deleted. But I'd like a day or so to get responses, if possible.
Some time after Star Wars came out in 1977, either that Christmas or maybe the following, my parents gave me an LP of Star Wars music. It was a long time ago, and I don't have it any more – don't have any LPs any more – and I am trying to reconstruct what I had, and what tracks were on it.
It was not this double-LP:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_(soundtrack)#Track_listing_for_the_first_release_on_LP
I'm pretty sure it was a SINGLE LP, not a double. And it contained a track called "Here They Come", which would roughly be the last ~2 mins of track 5 here (but I think a little faster). I'm sure of that detail, because it was my favorite track from the album. I'm pretty sure it was the London Symphony conducted by Williams.
Given the presence of "Here They Come", it had to have been a Star Wars concert suite. But I can't find any record of a Star Wars concert suite album by John Williams being released around that time. There was an album of the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta, around the correct time frame:

But that album does not have the "Here They Come" track on it, according to these:

There was a later album of concert suites conducted by Williams; but it had music from the whole trilogy. My old record emphatically did not have the Imperial March / Vader theme from Empire Strikes Strikes Back, or Yoda's music either. The thing I'm looking for must have come out before Empire Strikes Back; but it wasn't the regular movie soundtrack.
Does anybody have any idea what the hell I had?? And what tracks were on it? And where I can find it? I'd like to purchase it again – my 6yo son is into Star Wars, and he seems to have inherited his dad's taste for movie themes. He's humming the Imperial March / Darth Vader theme around the house CONSTANTLY this past week.
I apologize for intruding with this topic on a Star Trek board. Greatly appreciate any possible help.
Thanks,
Jim
