The one thing I’ve hated with the 5.1 mix is when Ecstasy Of Gold plays and some point in the scene theirs this strange phasing effect. I never notice it on the old DVD edition with the american cut. I’m not aware if there was a 5.1 with that version . The extended I noticed it and it bothers me to this day. What the hell the sound mixer was thinking when making the extended 5.1 mix is dumb. It defiantly doesn’t have that effect on the soundtrack. I just recently began a craze with mono version of old movies I love. My intro to mono was The Beatles music. Yea its not film but same field . Some songs had different sounds or added things the stereo mixes didn’t have. Like a double track vocal, longer fade, etc. . I own the Star Wars Despecialized and I gave the mono mix a try. I’ve read and heard things how it totally different from the original 5.1 or 2.0. To me It was like hearing a Beatles song in mono for the first time, it was incredible I notice every single bit that was in the mono I’ve never heard before, having grown up with Star Wars and watching it alot. I plan to do this with my 007 movies to being the blu ray has the mono mixes. TGTB&TU is my #6 in my top 10 all time list and my all time favorite Western. I’ll defiantly Private Message you for the Mono Mix. It amazes me what fans do vs what studios do.
