I posted a bunch of screen captures of this set here: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Pre-93-Special-LD-transfers/topic/12399/page/4/

My capture card isn't the best, and I didn't calibrate it at all (whites are way blown out), but you get the idea. It's not going to look very good on anything but an analogue TV, and even there you're going to notice the "jaggies".

It is the first and only pre-THX Widescreen/Letterbox US NTSC VHS release (the other is the Faces set which is also worthy of a transfer).

 I thought "Faces" was THX?

It is "assumed" to have the 1985 remix soundtrack for ANH so include the tractor beam line. The truth is, we do not know for sure until someone tells us.

 The "tractor beam" line is in it.
