Editdroid v1 has 3 audio tracks; matrixed dolby surround 70mm 6-track mix, dolby stereo surround mix and original mono mix. If you want to compare the audio mixes I think you want this disc.

I might be wrong, but I think that Editdroid v1 does not have the actual 70 mm 6-track mix, but the authors used the 1985 LD audio remix, believing it to be the original 70 mm 6-track mix. No one has released the actual 70 mm mix until this audio recording was released.
IIRC, the 35 mm/70 mm mix was released first. However, many theatres in 1977 could only play mono sound, and could not play stereo sound. So they remixed the audio in the film in mono. They took more time for this, and also had the benifit of hindsight. Thus the changes in audio.
