Notes

Re-released expanded edition of the original soundtrack album to coincide with cinematic re-release of original Star Wars Trilogy Special Editions. Contains previously unreleased music.

Track B5c is hidden (although stated and explained on liner notes), starting at minute 5:00 of track B5, after 2 minutes of silence. It consists of five recorded takes of the "Main Title", presented consecutively with slate numbers and incidental noise; they were takes 16 through 20 of the original recording sessions. Track A2 is actually an edited version using portions from takes 18, 19 and 20. The total duration of track B5 (called "Archival Bonus Track") is 17:00.

Liner notes state that track A1 is the original "20th Century Fox Fanfare" recording conducted by Alfred Newman.
