Didn't someone watching the '77 bootleg mention Obi Wan's Krayt dragon call from the mono mix is the same from the 2004 dvd?
If they did, they would be wrong.

It's not from any sound mix--including mono. It's an original cue that was not used. From what I understand, it only appears in the German version. I have no idea how or why that happened.
Also, part of this music was used for the extended approach into Mos Eisley in the Special Edition.
