I've been trying to explain to friends this "sigh" from my 1977 LP long lost in a yard sale that was NOT on any future digital/CD releases. Heard it 45 years ago! Fortunately on YouTube for the last few months there is a posted recording of the 1977 vinyl release and at 53:43 on it you can PLAINLY hear the sigh you heard. A friend who conducts said it was probably an ambient error in the room during the recording, such as a chair scooting, but it sounds very vocal to me, like a soft moan of a woman, almost. Kind of creepy, really, but I always hear it in my head when it's absent in the newer recordings. Again, thank you for also hearing this sound from back then.

I always enjoy accounts of personal experience of sci fi movies and Star Wars in all its forms touched millions of people in different ways. I must admit as to struggling to hear the sigh but I think that decades of heavy metal have finally stunted my hearing. Audio has always been of interest to me too and when combined with sci-fi and horror it can be a powerful central theme in its own right. Just think of the Stone Tape or more recently Berberian Sound Studio. The sound of the original Star Wars films is clearly of interest to other audiophiles besides yourself Bill and in an attempt to see whether the 1977 vinyl release was recorded online somewhere I came across this by David Morgan, which maybe of interest http://www.wideanglecloseup.com/starwarsaudio.html and this on a Star Wars forum about the different mixes. I couldn't find anything about Leia's sigh but someone else will have heard it back then for sure and not just Luke!
