Thank you so much, Protocol Droid for sharing this and your mum for the recording, if she only knew that people around the world would be able to listen and appreciate this 35 years later when she recorded this. :)

Like everyone else already said, the audio quality on it is unreal, absolutely amazing! This gave me goosebumps on more than one occasion, the audience reactions reminds you how innocent and fun this movie really is, after watching this film so many times you often don't reflect over certain lines and situations as you're so used to them, it was a little bit of magic to hear the reaction to the bickering droids, when the mouse robot got scared, Solo's and Leia's witty lines etc. Great job, Puggo. Thanks!

I must also add that I was actually surprised by how silent the audience was in between, have heard stories about how wild the reactions in US theaters can be, (maybe exaggerated and false) here you got the impression that they were really captivated by the film. But who wouldn't, it was Star Wars. ;)

We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions. 

Sincerely, Lynne Hale publicity@lucasfilm.com

Please...PLEASE tell me this is ending up on the despecialized edition.  A gotod quality audience track is such a natural companion track for Harmy`s project.

I'm really hopeless with sound but if someone syncs it to the GOUT, I'll be happy to include it. I actually have a special feature idea for it for the BD but I'm not yet quite sure how all these things work in BD authoring.

I didn't realize the significance of this recording until I saw the audience reaction notes above. I don't need it, but it's nice to know it exists. Great share Protocol Droid!

It seems my Rapidshare links have expired.

If anyone is still looking for this, You_Too mentioned above that he has sendspace links. I recommend PMing him.

Yeah, it would be nice if somebody could reupload it for everyone, since my sendspace links have been removed and my bandwidth is pretty busy at this time.

This place is not a library, you can't just have everything available at all times to those who want it.  You missed out the first go round, you'll have to wait for someone to take time out of their lives to help this recording make it to the next.  The way you post is not helping that case.  Why do you want to hear this recording?

i'll just move on, sorry for the annoyance.

I'd quite like to hear it myself. Not to mention possibly use it for a special bonus on the DeEd BD.

This recording (or any of the other three theatrical recordings/the only known ESB recording) would make a fantastic addition to your DeEd BD......
