For the collector

For me, the special edition CD leaves mixed feelings. When I was a child bought the original soundtrack double LP to "Star Wars" Twenty years ago, I heard them up for months and down. As a big fan but I wish also to have the music that did not make it on the record.
This desire meets the Special Edition. Therefore it is the right one for the collector who does not feel well before he has are not all completely in the closet.
As a listening experience, however, is the original compilation, which can be bought on CD, and shoulders. There the music is no longer the film chronologically, but together as a suite with suspense, which acts as an independent musical work without tearing the listener through the tempo changes of an invisible film events.
My recommendation therefore: Who the ingenious "Star Wars" -Filmmusik just want to enjoy, you should get the original co position better. But to whom at one (incidentally sounded technically excellent) 1: 1 copy of movie soundtracks is situated and also not want to give up the smallest music snippets that can access peaceful here. The Hardcorefan has anyway both are in the closet.
