‘Star Wars’ Ultimate Edition Soundtracks To Be Released In 2016
Not too long ago we learned that the soundtrack forStar Wars: The Force Awakens, featuring all new music from legendary composerJohn Williams, wouldn’t be made availableuntil the day the movie hits theaters. But there’s even more in store for the music ofStar Wars.
Sony Classical will be releasing the Star Wars soundtracks ultimate editions, in three different formats, but they won’t be made available until early in 2016. Find out more about the Star Wars soundtracks reissue below!
StarWars.commade the announcement of theStar Warssoundtracks re-release, and here’s the details:
It doesn’t sound like these will be much different from the previously released versions of the soundtracks, with the exception of the bonus CD and DVD that come with the physical copy of the soundtracks on CD. In fact, there’s probably even less music on these releases than the Special Edition soundtracks, which included previously unreleased music.
For me the best news here is the reissuing of the original trilogy on vinyl, as well as widely released versions of the prequel soundtracks (easily the best part of the newer trilogy). I’ve had the original trilogy soundtracks on vinyl for awhile (thanks to comic book and record stores), but it’ll be nice to have a fresh new pressing with vintage, mint cover gatefold sleeves.
Previously, theStar Wars: The Phantom Menacesoundtrack wasreleased on a limited edition vinyl, but the rest of the prequels didn’t follow. Therefore it’ll be nice to have vinyl editions ofAttack of the ClonesandRevenge of the Sith, if only just to complete the collection of John Williams' music for the iconic sci-fi saga. Stay tuned for any updates of alternate versions of the soundtracks that might be on the way as well.
