Nice! This might just make me a P&S fan.

Why wasn't this transfer used for the '82 LDs?

No idea why they made two different transfers that same year:

'82 CED / LD / HBO broadcast (time compressed)

'82 betamax / VHS / '85 LD

It is a little weird, they are also made from the same film elements. I actually like some aspects of the time compressed transfer as well, just unfortunate that it is time compressed. A good preservation of both these historical video transfers would be nice.

LOL! Someone has the '85 LDs on eBay for $99 each!
