gmoney Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The most acclaimed and enduring film music in Hollywood history, the original soundtracks of Star Wars Episodes I - VI, are now issued by Sony Classical in a new box set, Star Wars: The Ultimate Vinyl Collection. All composed by John Williams, the legendary five-time Oscar®-winning composer, this unique collector set is being released just as the latest chapter in the saga, Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in theaters. This is the first time all six Star Wars original soundtracks have been available on vinyl in one complete box set. Star Wars: The Ultimate Vinyl Collection includes each of the six film soundtracks from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace to Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi in deluxe gatefold sleeves faithfully replicating the original artwork. Audio was transferred from the original LP masters using the highest resolution (up to 192kHz/24bit) and pressed with heavy 180gram vinyl. The six soundtrack set (on 11 LPs) is presented in a black, soft-touch laminated slipcase with an embossed, hot silver foil Star Wars logo and includes a digital download card for one complete box set (all six soundtracks). Amazon - $199.99 I think this is a really awesome set. However. It's priced about double what I want it to be. Would love to own it though.

timsimmons Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Awesome. I was just thinking yesterday that something like this is bound to happen with the new film coming out. It would have been nice to present the complete soundtracks of the OT (like the ones that came out for the SE) rather than reproductions of the original soundtracks which were incomplete.

Yeah, likely just a bit too high for me. Still tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfingelectrode Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Disney is doing a real great job of making me sick of Star Wars months before the movie even comes out. batman, jonnywreck, Corgipants and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexH.

Vinnybod Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 $229? I'll wait for people to sell them off in pieces on Discogs or for Amazon to drop the price natenomm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natenomm Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 It's cool, but pricey. (Plus I'd only want the soundtracks to 1, 4, 5, and 6 anyways and I can find those relatively easy online) Also, this SCREAMS "PopMarket Special!"

slinch Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yeah, I've been waiting for this for a while, but not at that price. though I'm guessing this means that Mondo won't ever do this now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinch Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Oh, and here's the link from amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B015NOT9AY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B015NOT9AY comes to $170 shipped to US, so quite a bit better deal there.

I don't trust a $170 box to ship from the UK. Haha! And hoping the preorder from Amazon US drops some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolio Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Remember the I am Shark drama? I wonder how the official EP1 LP compares to his Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerk3745 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Amazon almost always shows the MSRP at first and it slowly goes down as it gets closer to release, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
