The audio on the UK VHS (and also I assume on the French Laserdisc boxed set with English audio) has been sped up with the pitch preserved, so the helium effect is no present.

True, but if you use the VHS audio, then you are missing out on the loveliness that is the PCM digital stereo track. The VHS audio is pretty good, but when you A/B it on my gear, the PCM track is definately preferred, and everyone stops rushing their lines ;^)
