TO BE RELEASED ON LP FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER
FROM VARÈSE SARABANDE RECORDS

(May 4, 2020—Los Angeles, CA)— May the 4th be with you! In
celebration of Star Wars Day, Varèse Sarabande Records is thrilled to
announce the upcoming special release of the Original Video Game
Soundtrack for Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire by GRAMMY®-nominated
composer Joel McNeely. The soundtrack will be released for the first
time on LP and reissued on CD on August 7, 2020, exclusively from

) are available now.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire was developed and published by
LucasArts for Nintendo 64 on December 3, 1996, and sold one million
copies in its first year. A version for Microsoft Windows followed in
1997, and sold out reissues have kept the game alive amongst the Star
Wars fan base since its release over 20 years ago.

As part of the Shadows of the Empire multimedia project, a full
soundtrack was composed by Joel McNeely and recorded with the Royal
Scottish National Orchestra. Samples of the soundtrack were used in
both versions of the game, with the Windows version containing many of
the full tracks. The album art features the main Star Wars characters
and was created by legendary illustrator Drew Struzan (Blade Runner,
Indiana Jones, Back to the Future).

In the game, which serves as backstory between The Empire Strikes Back
and Return of the Jedi, the player controls the mercenary Dash Rendar
in his efforts to help Luke Skywalker and rescue Princess Leia from
Prince Xizor.
