Evil Dead 2 (1987) - Original Mono Preservation

i'll make it short ;)

the original mono audio for evil dead 2 was never released on dvd and blu-ray for unknown reasons. after numerous re-releases after re-releases it's clear that we will never get it. however, it doesn't mean we can get it at all. luckily the good old laserdisc releases where always fortune to have it. with the help of jj666 and myself we can finally enjoy the original monaural audio of this classic movie with the high-def video presentation - if you have the u.s. blu-ray that is ;)

source: evil dead 2 s.e. blood red laserdisc - pcm captured via toslink by myself
synced by jj666 to the u.s. blu-ray (25th anniversary edition)
release format: flac, 16bit dual-mono at 44.1khz
download: pm me for the download link

please note: if you share this on another place, then don't forget to give credit to the people making this release possible.

Many thanks for this! Can't wait to sync it up when I get my new TV and sound system.

If you want to contact me, please, please email me. My PMs are turned off because I just plain don't like dealing in PM space. If you email me at reverendbeastly AT gmail DOT com, I will respond swiftly. Thanks!

FLAC and not WAV?

Go for HD or GTFO.

All I have right now is the 1998 Anchor Bay Standard THX DVD release, will this synch to it?

it was specifically synced to the u.s. blu-ray. it may work on the dvd without further adjustment. to find out, you've to try it.

I read the first post so I knew it was synched to the Blu-ray, I just thought you might know if the Blu & the DVD were the same versions so I could synch it.  I'll give it a go myself.  Sorry for the confusion.

Depends on the cut, unrated vs R rated

Very nice work.  Worth the time it took to rip my bluray copy and mux in the new audio. Thanks!

I'd rather have uncompressed fullsize wav compared to FLAC. Why the unneeded compromise? So please upload the original uncompressed WAV.

Would plan on making a BD25 of this. Using the uncompressed WAV original mono track, I wouldn't use FLAC anyway, with the AVC of the USA 25th Anniversary Blu-ray sitting on my shelf.

Go for HD or GTFO.

FLAC = lossless. If you convert FLAC to WAV the resulting file is identical to the original WAV, just the same as if you put the WAV file into a compressed ZIP archive.
