Listening notes
Released by Sony Classical in 2016, Star Wars: The Ultimate Vinyl Collection (catalog number 88875087451) brings together the scores John Williams composed for all six Star Wars films released up to that point, presented across six individual vinyl records packaged as a box set. The collection spans the prequel trilogy — Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith — as well as the original trilogy of Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
Each film's score occupies one double-sided record, with selections spread across two sides. The tracklist draws from all six soundtracks, including such titles as "Duel of the Fates" and "Anakin's Theme" from The Phantom Menace; "Across the Stars (Love Theme From Star Wars: Episode II)" and "Bounty Hunter's Pursuit" from Attack of the Clones; "Battle of the Heroes" and "Enter Lord Vader" from Revenge of the Sith; "Princess Leia's Theme" and "Cantina Band" from A New Hope; "The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)" and "Yoda's Theme" from The Empire Strikes Back; and "Luke and Leia" and "Ewok Celebration and Finale" from Return of the Jedi.
The set is catalogued under the genres Classical, Score, Soundtrack, and Stage and Screen. Listeners seeking Williams's work across the Skywalker saga's first two trilogies will find all six scores represented in a single physical package.
