Help Wanted: an MP3 of the 1.0 mono mix from the pre-ANH projects?

According to this site the 1984 Hi-Fi VHS and the 1989 laser have different mixes (the former has the 1977 2.0 mix, the latter the 1985 "digitally remastered" 2.0 mix). It is the 1977 2.0 mix that I am actually looking for.

A friend and I are considering making a Pre-ANH version with, if we can find them, the UK 1985 TV audio in 2.0 mono (reflecting the 1.0 mix), the 1984 Hi-Fi VHS audio in 2.0 stereo (reflecting the 2.0 mix) and the 1993 DE LD audio upsampled to 5.1 surround with ProLogic emulation (reflecting, some surmise, the 6.0 mix). The rollup would have come from the Mysterious Mysteries version. Video, prolly from his currently shrinkwrapped (!) Faces laser.

Idea: What I'd put on my own "ultimate classic edition" DVD
Time

Here’s what I’d put on my own “ultimate classic edition” of the OOT:

Possibly this might not even all fit on a DVD-9.

  • 3 video tracks (angles) for Star Wars, and 2 for ESB and ROTJ.
    This would comprise original or alternate crawl for Star Wars, plus standard or restored version on all (restored Star Wars would have the original crawl). The restored version would have cleaned up effects shots and mattes, but no major changes.

  • Softsub stream like ADigitalMan’s: caption or text. (Caption only for ESB.)

  • Original audio track if available (for Star Wars, at least the mono mix; if possible also the stereo and 6.0 mixes), plus 1985 and 1993 remixes.

  • Anamorphic format, 704x360 letterboxed to 720x480.

STAR WARS: The Torrents thread
Time
Damn, I'm having to be REAL heavy on the torrents this week, just leeched the ADM ROTJ, and seeded a Sailor Moon musical (got off that a few hours ago), and now here's the Pre-ANH ANH... My bandwidth is going to be BUSY!

For this reason, I am going to really take a major hit in my ratio... I am uploading at only 50% of my power (as opposed to my usual 75-80%) so I can still run my servers, which were off while I was on the last two torrents.
