I've just finished the TB CAV Box, generously sent to me by FF.

I think it's the same film source as the previous LDs. The transfer is greatly improved but it has some of the same marks and things as my 89 disc. The big noticeable one is a large black hair in the gate on the top edge of the frame during the "rack" sequence. It is the same hair and the same placement as the 89.

It appears a new transfer was done for this THX 95 release, but what I want to know is where they got the soundtrack from. It is the mix that has the other versions of the lines (the one I'm used to) and music cues. However, I could hear in some spots how some bits were obviously flown in from other sources, as there are some tiny cuts in the audio and noticeable differences in volume level and source. The Dolby Surround accurately reflected the original mono soundfield and it was nice to have a bit of punch to TB without mucking up the original.

All in all, a fantastic release. The 98 THX LD should just be a CLV repressing with an added 5.1 remix of this 2.0 surround.
