Help Wanted: to preserve the theatrical Swedish dub of Disney's 'Beauty And The Beast'

Hey everybody, Avatar_Emil here.

I would be lying if I ever said that Disney’s “Beauty And The Beast” wasn’t one of my favorite movies of all time. But lately, something’s being bugging me. You see, for some unknown reason (at least to me), the opening narration on the Swedish dub has been redone for the first DVD release in Nordic countries like Sweden, Denmark and Norway and it’s still the redone narration on the (Nordic) Blu-ray, when I know it’s the original narration on the VHS release. How do I know, you might ask? Simple: https://mega.co.nz/#!SENAnSpB!68LPNMnuvmoSmProP4zLJ6pV3F-tkOtZiVPiIrEmXHs

The link I provided is the first track of the Swedish soundtrack album. On the track, you will hear the original narration as heard on the VHS release, which I guess is accurate to how it sounded during the first theatrical run (I personally don’t know because I was born on March 1993). By contrast, here’s the opening narration as heard on the DVD/Blu-ray release: https://mega.co.nz/#!6RFSyQJK!7f7iA521XQgTzkMBJnH2xCmY11iI4ky6MVegjmPjLu0

See what I mean? Now obviously I wanted to add back the original narration in an attempt to preserve the theatrical sound, but that’s where I need your help. Why? Well. I recently heard of a program called ADX Trax which is probably the best piece of software to isolate vocal parts, even from mono mixes. Sadly, the program is only available to MAC-users, but if somebody had that program, he or she can do the preservation for me.
