Just picked it up. Haven't done a close look at the image, but seems good to me. Better for sure.
The mono audio though. Holy shit it sucks. It's not original at all as folks have said. Wow. A fold down and a really bad one at that. Just abominable.
The original Blu-ray mono sounds like the Criterion to me. That is, at least period accurate.
If the LaserDisc audio doesn't surface, I'll just sync to the old blu-ray audio.
