hairy_hen, I have forgotten to ask you about this, in the cantina around the 45:16 mark, some creature vocalization was added in the Mono mix, (also added to the THX re-mix) I noticed that you got rid of some of it in your re-creation but not all. Any particular reason behind that decision or was part of it really heard in the six-track? I can't say I hear it in the in-theatre reference I have.

Oh, carp.  That's not supposed to be there, I evidently made a mistake and didn't listen carefully enough when I was choosing where to edit in and out of the 35mm stereo mix.  To tell the truth, I wasn't entirely satisfied with the edit at that point anyway, as I never found it to be completely seamless, but I guess I only heard the beginning part of the addition and missed the rest.  Blast . . .

I've given some vague contemplation to making another version that would correct this and a few other minor errors, but I'm not sure if it would actually be worth it.  If I do end up going to the trouble of doing so, I'd probably want to use the '85 mix in place of the '77 stereo as it may possibly have slightly better imaging and fidelity, so first I'd have to obtain a PCM copy of that and synch the relevant portions to the '93 mix.

Would have replied earlier, but I've been away and not looked at the site for a while.
