I just heard the MP3 of the original mono mix just now...and it truly sounds both warm and crisp at the same time (reminds you of those old vinyl records). This is the best sounding mono mix that exists.

For those who didn't catch an earlier post...this is a mix I last heard in 1979. I was at the old Starlite Drive-in theatre in my hometown of Sacramento, CA and my brother and I saw "Star Wars" there. It was a mono sound print. Not only that, but it was cropped to 1.85:1 (the screen I saw could not accomodate 'scope prints). This reissue print had the "Empire Strikes Back" trailer at the end (the one narrated by Harrison Ford).

I hope to one day do a DVD-R of my own using this sound mix, that is, until whoever creates their "ultimate" DVD-R first, in which case I will see his/her work.

If your computer can't handle torrents or .rar decoding, E-mail me and let me know and I'll see what I can do to help you.
