I wonder if anyone on this thread can offer me help as per my request below.

"Is it still possible to download the mono mix recording for Star Wars produced by Belbucus or even obtain a Star Wars film which has the mono mix sound version? Thanks for any help you can give me, Best regards, John

I have already contacted a number of people, about this - so far without any results. I would really be grateful for any assistance you could give me.

I would really like to see Star Wars with the 35mm mono mix. Is there any way I can get hold of a DVD or VHS, which has this version? Thanks John

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?

Yes that is absolutely correct - the cassette is "The Story of Star Wars?". What are the differences then between the 35mm mono and the 70mm mix.
Are they the same as between the the Mono sound mix and the Dolby stereo mix?

The cassette I have is a narrated version of Star Wars but it includes many excerpts from the original sound track. Inspite of what you have said the cassette does have Dolby system printed on it so I am really not sure what to make of it. I would really appreciate anyone letting me/us know what the sound mix is like on the new Theatrical version of Star Wars when it comes out this week. In particular whether the voices on the Intercomm on the Death Star are the ones heard on the Mono Mix or the Dolby Stereo mix as per your website.
I am happy for you to listen to the sound track on my cassette, but any ideas onto how to put the recording on my cassette onto the Internet!

Yes the intercomm voice on the Mono version which I played on the website definately sounded like the one in the original version of Star Wars (I have the original sound track on an old tape).
I am a bit puzzled by the newer 35mm stereo and 70mm surround mixes - could you explain the difference between these sound mixes and the Mono version? Are they similar to the Dolby Sound mix (also on the website) which I really don't like. Your last comment '...don't hold your breath' seems to imply that this so.

How orginal is the original soundtrack for the 1993 laserdisc set? Another big (annoying) difference I noticed was that the atmospheric music played during the encounter between Darth and Obe-Wan in the original film was edited out in subsequent versions.

Can you help me out please:-

One of the things which really annoyed me about the remastered versions of the original 1977 Star Wars film was that the Intercomm dialog on the Death Star was partially daubed over with an idiotic child like voice. Do you know where it is possible to obtain a Video/DVD version of the Star Wars film which has the original sound track. Will the soon to be released Theatrical version have the original sound track?
