Thanks Bobby Jay, just as I suspected the 70mm Baby Boom version was basicaly  identical to the 35mm Dolby stereo although vastly superior having the advantage of Discrete audio, and two subwoofers. The way Lucus operates I thouhgt I would never hear this track, and its unlikly it will ever be released. Lucus is partially to blame for this but its also due to the fact that the studios never release these older films with there original 70mm audio. The only film I can think of off the top of my head that did this was a LaserDisc version of Alien which has its 70mm audio and proudly states it on the back cover, this used 5.1 AC3 to play and was also the best sounding version of the film in my opione with the most power behind it, and better then the DVD verions currently available. Although this version of Star Wars was in terms of difference almost identical to the 35mm version I did notice one thing and if in fact this turns out true it would indicate the only unicness between the two tracks. I did not no matter how high I turned up the volume on my receiver hear the echo present in the shaft when Luke and Liea swing across the chasm "I think we took a wrong turn". Naturaly this recordings limited quality might be affecting this, but there should be some indication of the echo being there, should'nt there. Now if only someone out there could find a recording of the 70mm Empire track. 

Hi. I've been revising my web site, wideanglecloseup.com, which has taken longer than expected, so none of the links to my Star Wars background article or audio files has worked for a while. I pulled the 70mm files but can perhaps make them available again when the site is finished. I'm not sure I feel good that others have taken it upon themselves to post them on other sites, though, so when I finish my web work I'll ask that they please be taken down.  

Cheers,

OK, I've wrestled the evil god Javascript (and his fiendish monkey helper CSS) and relaunched the web site, "Wide Angle/Closeup: Conversation With Filmmakers," and reposted the article on Star Wars audio.

Thanks for your continued interest.

I see that you went to the SW Paramus, NJ 70mm in 1977. I was wondering if you went on opening day or at least within the first month.

(and thanks for posting these I will have to take a listen)
