Vertigo's old LD is analog only so we've often thought a Beta or VHS issue may yield slightly better audio. I haven't got the chance to really take a close look at the new mono on the BD (in DTS) but I'm almost positive the 2005 Masterpiece Collection DVD mono is the same as the old analog LD source. Certainly sounds like it.
I disagree... LD analog audio could be really high quality... take a look at my thread about laserdisc sound here; if VHS (or Beta) is Hi-Fi stereo, it *may* be better than analog laserdisc soundtrack; you still have to use a TBC to stabilize video, as the Hi-Fi stereo soundtrack on VHS is "drowned" inside the video signal...
