Right now I'm comparing this against the 1982 vhs preservation. I expected it to look about the same but they are quite different looking I think. In color, panning and cropping.
The 1982 VHS uses the same master as the 1985 CAV LD.
The 1982 CLV LD is time-compressed and uses the same master as the 1982 CED and, possibly, the VHD.
JEDIT: IMO, the 1982 VHS / 1985 CAV LD is the most accurate colortiming reference of all the "official" releases.
