News Remastered soundtracks

[Caretaker]

So a link to this Pledge Music "campaign"/preorder showed up in my e-mail inbox yesterday:

USM and Walt Disney Records are very proud to present the Original Motion Picture soundtracks, ‘Star Wars: Episodes 1-6’ with music composed and conducted by John Williams available 4th May 2018.

I'll be interested to see what the reviews are like. Episodes II and III never got a complete score release, of course, and RotJ's releases have tended to sound a bit tinny. Though based on the prices alone, it seems like these are single-disc releases and not complete scores.

I can't imagine my layman's ear detecting a difference between the CD releases and these, so I'm saving the money. I wouldn't mind that complete AOTC score, though.

If these are complete (or even just expanded) scores then I'm interested. If they're just remasters of what's come before, I'm rather less so.

You have to weed through a lot of replies, but you can find out more at this film score message board thread:

Hmmm...it looks like there isn't really anything substantive there until page six or so, but what is there doesn't seem to be completely discouraging.

As someone who played my original soundtrack records until they were warped (Hey, I was 7 and had a kiddie stero) I'm looking forward to getting ANH this way.... Still is my favorite...
