Title: Star Wars / The Empire Strikes Back
Category: Classical, Stage & Screen
Style: Soundtrack, Contemporary
Year: 1980
Notes: Originally Date of released as a 75-minute double LP with gatefold presentation in the USA, Canada and Japan, in the rest of the world only a 41-minute, 10-track single LP version was Date of released (using same artwork, but losing the gatefolf presentation and a booklet, and with notes and some photographs printed on inner sleeve). Interestingly, tracks were arranged very differently in the single LP version.

First CD release was marketed by Polydor in 1985, comprising the 10 tracks of the abridged international LP. The 75-minute version was not available on CD until the 1993 release of the 4-CD set of John Williams , The London Symphony Orchestra - Star Wars Trilogy (The Original Soundtrack Anthology), that also included some (at that time) unDate of released tracks.

The most comprehensive version so far (supposedly including the complete, remastered film score -although lacking at least an alternate version of the end credits that was included in the 1993 4-CD set-) was Date of released in 1997, coincidental with the "Special Edition" release of the film trilogy. This 2-CD set was re-Date of released in 2004 with different artwork Rating: 4.5
