Annotation

"This project is an updgrade on many points of the previous “Audiophile Edition”. It is my definitive set & fix.

"You must own the Empire Strikes Back original motion picture soundtrack Special Edition if you mean to keep for yourselves a copy of the entire project presented here. If you own any other releases of this score, then you may select and keep for yourselves the material in common from the actual set.

"THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK restored score

"Project: multiple sources remixing, restoration and remastering.
