When the first efforts here made drastic improvements to the GOUT way back then I knew that major releases could and definitely did have issues and it helped me go down the rabbit hole of studying film transfer histories.

If you really want the GOUT discs it’s a bit of a challenge now. Most places or listings have them around $60-100 or more as so many people are unfortunately convinced they are the only “original versions”. I’ve worn myself out explaining them still and their lineage. Sadly the costs of LD and VHS editions are still sky high for usually the same reason regardless of edition.

The DC or Faces LDs destroy the GOUT in terms of PCM vs DD 2.0. Heck I’d go even further and say the VHS hifi has more of a punch and I’m a geek that has both pan n scan and letterbox boxsets of the VHS Faces.
