Did MAD MAX have an original track on Laserdisc in PCM? Glad it mentions which Blu-ray release to use, since I do have quite a lot. I'd rather use the original MGM release instead of the 2013 WB one.

Depends on your definition of 'original'. There are plenty of discs containing the original mono mix from the 1980 US release - some in digital PCM - but that was the American-accented dub.

Indeed the only DVD and BD releases containing the Australian English mono mix - the true 'original' - use lossy Dolby Digital. AFAIK the track included on the BD (both MGM and WB, which are essentially the same release) is as good as it currently gets for that film.

I thought the MGM USA Blu-ray has the original Australian in lossless but a 5.1 remix. Only looking for the Original Australian mono in PCM. The WB Blu-ray has the American dub remix as lossless though and I already have both Blu-rays. For MAD MAX 2 I have both the original release and the 2013 remastered release. Also MAD MAX: Beyond Thunderdome. The Blu-rays. So I could make BD25s of 2 and Beyond Thunderdome?

 

EDIT: I'd plan on using the PCM or whichever for the 4K remaster for Ghostbusters as a BD25 mebbe. No idea though.
