If anyone is following this I have finished this now, and I was hoping some of you would listen and see what you think, here is a recap of what was done,

1) "Dead Beat Dance", fully restored (12m 43s to 13m 27s)
2) Tarmans original voice edited in where it was different, there are actually some scenes where it is a little deeper on the original also, but where it is different it was fixed. (44m 35s to 46m 47s)
3) "Take a Walk" has been fully restored. (48m 52s to 49m 51s)
4) The line "Send more cops" has been fully restored. (1h 9m 9s to 1h 9m 19s)
5) "Burn The Flames" fully restored, and the little audio distortion that was placed over Franks suicide scream has been removed from the front left & right channels as well as the center, so it is fully restored. (1h 16m 22s to 1h 17m 26s)

Now I have done up 2 versions, this is the reason it took some time, I needed to figure out how to encode it back to what it was originally, which was DTS HD MA, so that said the 2 versions I have for anyone interested is, DTS-HD MA 5.1, and Dolby Digital 5.1 @ 640.

The hardest thing to do on this edit was getting Tarmans voice and the zombie's voice that said "send more cops" to blend perfectly to the existing audio mix, and also editing back in the "Dead Beat Dance" but I think I got it as good as it can be, personally I think it can only be better if the studio themselves did it, but all in all, I think it sounds waaay better than the crap we got on the release, especially the distortion added to cover Franks scream, really bad, the edits made on this were as small as I can make them to keep as much of the Blu audio as possible.

here is the link ofr the DD 5.1 file for you guys to take a listen to,

I could PM you a link where to find a high quality custom extended soudtrack download for Return of the Living Dead.

An AVCHD would be fine with the original sound mix. Although I've first seen the film via Collector's Edition awhile ago and will be purchasing the Blu-ray soon.
