Shouldn't the complete version list A4T21 as the pre-Special Edition option since that's the film version instead of A3T19?

I've gone back and forth about whether to include film versions in the main list or not. I figured people should make their own choice, but as long as it is listed as the film version they will know what to do with it.

I believe that track D1T14 in Return of the Jedi should be cut at 1.02.329
