In 1993, 20th Century Fox Film Scores released a special four-Compact Disc box set: Star Wars Trilogy: The Original Soundtrack Anthology. For instance, the first track on the CD is the "Imperial March" instead of the "Star Wars/Main Theme". The tracks were also re-arranged differently. This CD release, however, reduced the music content from the 75 minutes featured in the 1980 double-album down to 42 minutes. In 1985, the first Compact Disc (CD) release of the soundtrack was issued by Polydor Records, which had absorbed RSO Records and its entire music catalog. A double-cassette edition was also released.

As a side note, this package marked the final time a double LP soundtrack set was ever issued (Episode VI, the final movie to have an LP soundtrack released, had only a single disc, also released by RSO Records). The front cover artwork featured the mask of Darth Vader against the backdrop of outer space and the back cover featured the famous "Gone with the Wind" version of the poster art. It also included a brief explanation of each track.
Featured at the end of the booklet was an interview with John Williams about the music and the new themes, such as the iconic "Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)" and "Yoda's Theme". This double LP package also included a booklet presentation with pictures of the main characters and action sequences from the film. Combined, the two records featured 75 minutes of film music. In 1980, the disco label RSO Records released the film's original soundtrack in a double-album, with two long-playing (LP) records.
