    Return of the Jedi soundtracks on CD: Which ones have the original track listings?

    Do any of the recent Jedi soundtracks still have the original Max Rebo Band "Lapti Nek" (I detest Jedi Rocks) and "Yub Nub" Ewok Celebration?
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    The special edition Jedi soundtrack CDs released in '97 and then again in 2004 don't contain Lapti Nek or the original Ewok Celebration.

    Only the original ROTJ soundtrack release, and the later SW Anthology soundtrack box set from 1993 contain them, as far as I recall.

    On the original ROTJ CD, Lapti Nek is track 6 and the Ewok Celebration is track 11.

    In the 1993 Anthology box set, both those tracks are featured on the 4th bonus disc (tracks 11 and 21) and not on the actual ROTJ disc itself.

      And yet the film version of Lapti Nek has never been released. Odd.

      And yes, Jedi Rocks is terrible. And what a terrible name for a song.

        I skip that abomination, both on the DVD and the CD...

        I bought the CDs upon release (and still have the original LPs of course). Thankfully, I never upgraded, I never got stuck with the special edition versions.
        Old school!

          Thank you for the info!

            I consider myself an old school guy too, but in this case, you're missing out. There was a lot of great unreleased music on the Anthology box set and the Special Edition 2CD set that did not make the cut for the LP or single disc CD. Highly recommended, and just skip the Jedi Rocks.

              Sounds like the Superman: The Movie soundtrack release from Rhino. So worth it for all the great music, but even I could have done without the disco version of Margot Kidders "Can You Read My Mind?".
