SW EP 1 THE PHANTOM MENACE OST LP

From I Am Shark. For the very first time ever on limited edition vinyl comes the original soundtrack to Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, scored by legendary composer John Williams and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra! The original album was released to accompany the film (May 4, 1999). This release was certified Platinum in the U.S. and Gold in the UK, containing 17 tracks from selections of the score, meant to stand alone as a separate listening experience and not as one hears the score in the film. John Williams edited each track to present the score as one would hear it in a concert suite. Recorded in Abbey Road studios over a week, starting on February 10, 1999 performed by the London Voices and London Symphony Orchestra, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace was the first Star Wars score Williams had composed in over 16 years. The scores of the following two films would rely heavily upon tracking from this score, a decision that Williams and George Lucas had made early into production of the film.
