No official release. I have seen samples for both, though I do not remember the composer.

Not true. Varese released an LP in 1986 containing highlights from both Ewok scores. It seems to be rare, having yet to be released on CD. Perhaps there will be an expanded edition some day. I can't find any LP copies and if there are any for sale, I imagine they're going for a steep price based on the rarity of the original LP.
Lucasfilm still holds the rights and I can guess they have not rereleased it for 2 reasons: 1) lost master tapes or 2) low demand (although a limited release--say, 2000 copies--would probably sell like hot cakes these days)

The tracks I found appear to be the original album tracks as they share the same titles and similar/identical running times and they contain no sfx. There are two additional "bonus" end title tracks which sound like very low quality rips from DVD or VHS. The links I found contained no booklet and only two fan made covers. So, yes, I will be interested in what you are downloading.

I really don't know why I am this interested in two "meh" scores from spinoff films which contain very little music resembling Williams' original scores except that I am a bit of completist when it comes to SW music. I must have it all, even the SHIT :laugh:

I have the first two, but I cannot post them, as they are VARESE SARABAND releases, and not allowed on this site! VS still maintains the copyright, even though another record company is releasing other versions of the music, and therefore NOT allowed on this site!

Post reported!

Lye, mine are the same as yours. This is obviously a boot. The art is very well done, but by a company called Force Records. I'll pm you the Ape set, but it seems to be mostly the same tracks as yours.
