The "black box", released by 20th Century Fox (and distributed by Arista records)
in 1993, contains 4 remastered CDs. There is one disc for each movie - and each
CD contains certain previously unreleased tracks - while the fourth disc holds
more unreleased music along with alternate versions of a number of tracks.
Here are the complete track listing of the Anthology's four compact discs.
Disc 1: Star Wars
Disc 2: The Empire Strikes Back
Disc 3: Return of the Jedi
Disc 4: Star Wars / Empire / Jedi
The Anthology is THE edition of the trilogy's soundtrack every fan must have.
Then again, we now have access to the Special Editions' Soundtracks... which
contains MORE previously unreleased tracks.
Granted, the cover looks really cool, but just how many times do you expect to
buy the same CD - plus or minus some minor details? The decision is up to you.
Besides, you may be more of a completist than I am.
Personally I drew the line at the Anthology, which IS the ultimate
"original trilogy" soundtrack.
New information about the prequels' score will be added as soon as it
becomes available.
