Just watched the Connery Collection version of Thunderball and it looked near identical to the 89 disc. Same mono mix with Thunderball closing theme. I'd be hard pressed to note much of a difference in image, although I really noticed some reoccurring vertical print/negative damage (thin black lines). There was less video noise, so everything looked more detailed I guess but this boxset was a bit banged up and I have to watch LD on an old 19"CRT so picking out minute detail isn't the easiest thing to do.
