True. Keeping with that, and since this thread was started as a request for the mono mix MP3, does anyone have an MP3 of the original 77 (not 85 or 93) stereo mix? I've been screwing around with the mono mix myself and can't do much with it without another source, and while I'm using the 85 mix from the MM DVD, I'd like a copy of the stereo mix as well for archival purposes if I ever end up getting the mono mix up to snuff and a DVD made. And I don't suppose *anyone* has a copy of the 4.2 (six-track) mix, short of having an old 70mm reel?

And I know someone mentioned the necessity to transfer this to 5.1, but that would require the creation of a whole new channel. My copy of Tora! Tora! Tora! has 4.1 I believe (or 4.0), so wouldn't it be better preservation-wise to just compile the two LFE tracks into one and make it a 4.1 track, rather than creating a whole new center-speaker track? This is all assuming anyone can ever get their hands on the 4.2 mix...
