Always felt more films needed the same name somewhere in the title 😉

Seriously, some impressive projects you are doing, alleycat. Nice one.

I am watching this one with great interest.
The Harryhousen Limited Edition BD collections from the UK are just too expensive to me even though these discs are chock full of extras. I hope you can keep up with your Harryhausen project!

This looks fantastic - Always amazed at the efforts by fans that very often eclipse the official releases. Very much look forward to checking this release out.

Not sure if I remember this correctly, but wasn’t there a UK (?) laserdisc which contained the full isolated score & effects as an extra? Would be amazing if somebody out there a actually had this audio file, and it could be added to this collection at a later date?

There was a UK disc from 1994. It does not show up for sale that often. It had production stills. There is no info on LDDB about an isolated score. But there is information that there is an error in the soundtrack.
It was from Encore Entertainment and is of course in Pal format.
It was also in CAV format and digital sound with the mono soundtrack.
