What exactly is the PURIST remix?

Hairy_Hen originally did 5.1 upmixes of Empire and Jedi that included music not present in the original theatrical release (for Empire, it was the scene where Boba Fett takes off with Han - he restored the natural end of the cue as heard in the '97/'04 SE; for Jedi, he added in the never-before-used-in-any-version-of-the-movie cue when Luke talks to Ben's ghost on Dagobah).

In order to use 5.1 upmixes for this and similar preservation projects, HH also made "purist" versions of Empire and Jedi that remove these music changes, so that there's no content in the mixes that wasn't in the original theatrical releases.
