hairy_hen's post about pitch correction vs. simple speedup made me wonder. I discovered that the 1995 UK VHS releases had pitch-corrected audio. The "coffret" laserdisc set has English audio; is this the same corrected audio track in digital form?

I can't remember whether the French audio on the individual LD releases had speed up or not. Never really paid much attention to the French track.

The GOUT Region 2 PAL discs have sped-up audio.
How could I find out if the Coffret audio has been pitch corrected or not?

Those people with "perfect pitch" can tell just by listening to the sped-up PAL version that the title music is in the wrong key.

However us "mere mortals" - unless we're accustomed to the NTSC speed - normally need another reference. The difference in pitch is easy to hear if you compare it side by side to the music at the correct speed, for example from a soundtrack CD or an NTSC version of the audio.
