Ok, I received the UK transfer, Nerfherder kindly sent me. It was a pretty damn good capture, nice to see a transfer without the nasty edge-enhancement/haloing the other discs have. Unfortunately it is softer and much less detailed than its US/Japanese counterparts:

As you can see, the UK transfer is also cropped differently than the US/Jap transfers, often losing quite a lot of picture information on all sides, which is unfortunate as the US/Jap transfers was quite badly cropped on the sides in some scenes to begin with. I will post more comparisons between all the different transfers from the various players later...
A quick update, I am currently encoding the Italian cut as I type so that one should be done quite soon, and I'll also send out copies of these fine LD-captures to dark_jedi, so that he can help me out with this as my lousy computer will take years to finish this project on its own. Thank you, d_j for helping out!
An April 8, 1971 review of THX 1138 in The Village Voice: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2010/11/thx-1138_george.php#more nothing exciting, but a vintage review of the original film nevertheless, something you don't see that often on the net.
A nice little interview with the hologram Don Pedro Colley conducted in 1999 or 2000 I think: http://www.lucasfan.com/thx1138/interv.html
