So apparently there are a bunch of different editions of the original Star Wars scores? I plan on purchasing the whole trilogy soon, but I want to make sure I'm getting 2 CD sets with liner notes. The reviews on Amazon are confusing, since they complain about absent liner notes and missing cues, etc. Is there a definitive version of these scores?

(original trilogy)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Come on.

You left out Korngold's scores and Strauss's tone poems.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Thank you.

And damn the whole nature of film music. Oh and those directors who demand a sound that evokes the spirit of such 19th and 20th century art music.

Not a whole lot he can do when Lucas temps the whole movie with the Planets and Rite of Spring and says "Re-write this for my space movie." I can only hope your responses have been tongue-in-cheek; I'd considered you among the few musicians here who doesn't let his own elitist tastes color his judgment.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It just arrived for me in the mail today. Pretty pleased with it mostly, except there's no liner notes whatsoever. Oh well. The jewelcases are nice, and the case is great. Can't complain about six CDs for $40.

Most amazing jew boots

Are you serious? How long would that take?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, one of my friends had the 4-disc Anthology. I remember that huge book that came with it was awesome. I'm irritated that for the 2004 re-issue they decided not to include the liner notes. After reading some reviews of those, it looks like they were amazingly detailed. Any chance of finding those online somewhere?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
