Thanks for that, Vigo. Very strange to hear that cue there (not to mention the German dialogue). Okay, so that shows it's not the same as the mono mix (even besides the obvious dialogue difference). Now, thanks to belbucus, we know Burtt continued to change the mix when preparing the foreign releases. The mono was the last to be made, so it would stand to reason that he would use that as the basis for further changes.

However, it's possible (however unlikely) that it was the other way around. Does anyone know the German release date and/or the US mono release date?

It's also possible that this mix, while substantially similar to the mono mix in content, could be in stereo. Unfortunately, the left channel from my cpu got disconnected and it's a nightmare to get to it so I can't tell from the sample. Vigo?
