After looking at the (lack of) quality of the exisiting DVD-5 sets I thought an archival set mastered from the LD was important. Plus it gives me something to do until the DVD release.
Depending on what the dvd release is like, and how messed up he makes it, I am still keen to do a despecialised edition

But it will be after I finish these.

(no disrespect to the exisiting bootlegs, their problems are mostly due the low bitrate ncessary to fit it all on one layer, but they aren't a patch on the laserdisc originals.)
