YMMV - Star Wars Orginal Trilogy 2016 Remasters FREEGAL

[bfett9]

I thought because of the title in question it deserved it's own thread.

Those of you who follow Star Wars Soundtrack are aware that Sony released a 2016 remaster of the original trilogy soundtracks.

NOTE: these are not as "complete" as OSTs that are already out there so definitely keep a hold on those if you have them or if you want them, but these remasters definitely sound better for the cues they cover.
See details and reviews here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019DDE6U4


For those with FREEGAL available thru your local library, you can now download the Original Trilogy Remasters that were released earlier this year. This is a YMMV deal, because not every Local Library in the USA support Freegal but a large amount do, if you are unsure just go to your local libraries website, and take a look, you will need a card though so if you don't have one might push you to go make one!

For those who do not know what FREEGAL is short version: its a website where you can legally download lots of music for free. Limit of 5 a week (your library may vary on number of tracks per week)

Long watch this (watch it all to learn about other free library services for movies and books!) :

My library system showed up on the site but when I tried to login I got a message that says "Access to the service is limited. Please see a library staff member for assistance" so I guess it doesn't actually work for me. This is pretty cool though that something like this is offered.

What it actually might mean is your library card might not be activated for use on freegal and other online services, when i first signed up for any of these free library services, I had to get my card "activated for online resources" I was able to just call my library and have them do over phone, but you might need to go in and ask.

I use their services mainly to get Overdrive ebooks and audiobooks, but when I found out about freegal I was happy too, since I was able to start flushing out my Digital collection, granted it ends up being roughly 1 CD a month, but I think worth it

Thank you for posting this information bfett9.

I went ahead and tracked down higher-res versions of the cover art. Freegal covert art is never the right size (175x175 or 200x200), you can downsize these all yourself to 500x500 (standard size) or keep them giant high-res.

Enjoy
