It's the '93 mix- which is actually a blend of the 35mm mono, 35mm stereo, and 70mm multi-track mixes.

I'll be blunt. George Lucas should have kept his films unchanged, do the THX remastering stuff but don't change the films. Too late for that now but no point brooding. We have a chance to watch this trilogy on DVD. I purchased ROTJ and will do the same for this one and ESB. I believe George when they say this opportunity won't come again. He seems to hate the original versions of his great trilogy. Who am I to argue with the creator of Star Wars?

Question for Darth Mallwalker

No official home video release has included the mono mix, although bootleg versions do circulate. One forum member has a VHS tape from a television broadcast with the mono mix, which is being restored by an audio specialist (another forum member.)

Do you know where I could get hold of a bootleg version of the film with the original mono mix?

Wait for Belbucus to finish his restoration

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…
