Perhaps the good Dr. could chime in and comment on the differences between the German 35mm print scan and the upcoming 4K project? Here’s hoping there’s actually some grain. Bear in mind also that the mono soundtrack Warner included on their heinous 4K release has a weird sound level issue during the on-campus filming scene, where the crowd’s cheers (as Burstyn is talking through the megaphone) are weirdly dialed down to barely-audible, in sharp contrast to every other sound mix of the film.

How do you know that past releases didn’t alter the audio in that scene? Every past release was a remix of some sort and not the 1973 mix. It could’ve been that way in the 1973 mix and no one would’ve known.
