[Album] Which Star Wars soundtrack set to purchase?

(original trilogy)

Hmm, I think you should get the original versions. i.e. 'The Rite of Spring' and 'The Firebird' by Igor Stravinsky as well as 'The Planets' by Gustav Holst. I know you are a film composer and studying these scores should help you out far more than John Williams' heavily plagiarized works.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Also, damn that Williams for looting all the great art of the 19th and early 20th century and calling it his own. >=[

There's nowhere I can't reach.
