As far as I know the current audio recording of the original 1977 Dolby Stereo sound mix for Star Wars was preserved by Belbucus using the analogue track on a laserdisc. Would I be right in thinking that while the Hi-Fi sound on VHS tapes is inferior to Laserdisc digital PCM, it <span class=“Italics”>is</span> actually better quality than laserdisc’s analogue sound?

If so, would using the 1984 CBS/Fox VHS or Beta tapes provide a superior source for preserving the original theatrical audio mix?
