To reconstruct the original 1979 version (or the Special longer Version) of STTMP from just what is on the DVD can't be done. If you try to just re-insert the cut footage into the main feature, you run into problems such as the soundtrack music not flowing together. The new DVD edit has lots of new background sounds, and they would have to be replaced with the unmodified soundtrack from the original versions.

Hiphats version from Widescreen Laserdisc would be a true preservation of the 1979 version.
