Wow, I really screwed up, didn't I? I guess I meant to say, it's the only version that's *not compressed to 192kbps.*

Another thing which needs to be captured is a PCM mono track from an LD of The Wizard of Oz (perhaps the "Ultimate Oz" box set?). All DVD/Blu-ray releases from 1999 onward have a weird error in the parlor scene in Kansas; before '99, Dorothy said "Oh, Toto, don't..." but in all the DVD/Blu-ray releases except for the original MGM one, it cuts off mid-sentence. Even the "restored" mono track on the more recent releases has this problem.

Again, the original MGM DVD has the mono track as it used to sound, but it's compressed Dolby Digital. An uncompressed version can only be found on laserdisc.

IIRC, someone over at the HTF claimed this was a mistake made by those restoring the soundtrack for the last major theatrical reissue, and it's been carried over ever since.

I captured a 1983 Oz LD just for fun, (before putting it into the donation box) as it was an unrestored print with black and white Kansas scenes, but the soundtrack was very noisy. I do have the 50th anniversary LD which I will be keeping in my permanent collection though.

Another preservation I've been contemplating is Danger Diabolik. The Laserdisc features a different English dub than the DVD. All the actors save John Phillip Law and Marisa Mell have different voices, and the lines are often said differently between the two versions. Not the mention I dig the Italian credits on the LD. ;)

If you ever saw the movie on MST3K, the most infamous line is not on the DVD dub!
