I had the originals, then the THX faces set was released and I got them for Christmas one year. The the special editions came out and I got them viewing them more as an alternative version of them. I liked the idea of more stuff in the film. I thought it was really cool back then, but I still had my other versions that I liked more.
Before the days of the TR47 transfer I bought the VCD which has the same covers as the 2000 VHS release. The VCDs were official but made for asian audiences since it was such a popular formatte in asia, so they are PAL. At the time I thought them to be the best I could get since Lucas said he would not put them on DVD until after Episode III was on out, of course he changed his mind.
So if the VHS tapes of that release are just like the VCD release the only new thing on them is a sort of sneak peak for Episode II. It was some interviews with the actors who played Owen and Beru Lars, and with some of the behind the scenes people who talked about the process of finding young actors to fit the roles of Luke's aunt and uncle. On the VCDs this is on the A New Hope disc before the feature, so I imagine it is the same on the VHS.
