ALBUM AVAILABILITY

The musical contents of the two albums are the same; the Target version has specific packaging elements. The "for your consideration" awards promo was made available digitally a few days after the commercial album releases and could be heard or downloaded through Disney's official awards site.

The 2025 Walt Disney Records re-issue is part of a very limited set distributed at a Star Wars Celebration event in Japan. It uses the 2018 album masters and sells on the secondary market for $700 or more.
