I will preface this by saying that I’m much more of a casual fan of the Star Wars saga than most, so my opinion doesn’t mean much (when has it ever?).
However, I bought the HD downloads of the original albums and couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of the sources and mastering. This is without a doubt the best I've ever heard the scores sound, with better EQ choices, better clarity and considerably (and measurably) more dynamic range than the prior, 2-CD editions. A lot of people want C&C presentations, and I certainly respect that, but these downloads are the definitive presentations as far as I’m concerned.
Anybody else get these downloads or the vinyl version of it?
