Ronster, the Technidisc was a new pressing and correction of the Fox Video Special Widescreen Edition. It was not a new transfer and it was not from a Technicolor print. It is virtually identical to the Japanese Special Collection. Due to what had to be fixed it would be the same telecine and is just a better transfer from the master tape to LD. The colors aren’t any different except if the new transfer eeked out some subtile improvements. It is the same telecine which is what matters to me as that determines what the transfer looks like.

The SWE is in the middle of the second row. The one on the top far right is my tweak of the 85 LD to restore the contrast, levels, and saturation. The untouched 85 LD is next to it for comparison. That is also the only one we have info directly from the operator of the telecine equipment.
