I'm very familiar with recycled LD transfers. I avoided a lot of early DVD's at the time since LD wasn't quite dead yet.
The soundtrack on LD seems to have more oomph for whatever reason.
Got the '94 LD today. It seems to be the same print. The 1.75:1 listed on the jacket would seem to be in error though.
Some unfortunate mild rot on side 2, but not enough to affect the soundtrack, thankfully. (My older player will probably ignore the rot.) I'll try to get the Anthrax bit audio captured, and put it up somewhere this week.
