Description

This limited Japanese vinyl edition celebrates The Empire Strikes Back with the Japanese version of the original jacket, an obi strip, and striking red vinyl. Mastered from the 2018 192kHz / 24-bit remaster by Shawn Murphy and Skywalker Sound, it captures John Williams at peak dramatic power - bigger orchestration, deeper emotion, and themes that became permanent fixtures of the saga.

This is the film that introduced “The Imperial March” and “Yoda’s Theme,” alongside towering cues like “The Asteroid Field” and “The Duel.” For collectors, it’s an essential Star Wars centerpiece presented in a premium Japan import format designed to display as beautifully as it plays.
