... the light/dark cycle ... I have seen before, but I don't recall if this movie had it.

BTW, thanks for weighing in on this. I was afraid it might've been like picking up the beat when filming under fluorescent light.

It's unlikely it's a broadcast print, (except for the third reel) as even partial nudity was not going to be shown on broadcast tv.

I don't know about that. Those 2 TV broadcasts, from which I posted snapshots during our early color correction tests, dealt with it:

The fullscreen cablecast on TNT (1995) cut the entire nude-hologram dance sequences and had cuts & close-ups in the THX & LUH white-prison intimacy sequence.

The widescreen cablecast on Bravo (1997) left those sequences mostly intact but did whiteout-hidden-identity circles with head & shoulders close-ups in the nude-hologram dance sequence ..

<-- unretouched capture
.. and zoom-ins in the white-prison intimacy sequence.

TV broadcast content was shipped out to the stations on 16mm. Thankfully, brave someones held onto them ... for posterity sake! GL revisionism foiled again!

You are going to restore the original WB/Kinney logo myscamore has worked on to match the LD?

I don't have most of the project sources yet. Of course, a preservation will have what's actually on the laserdisc to be preserved. My rough mock-ups were just to compare it to a positive ID'ed previous version (whatever version number that might be, LOL) in the 16mm -- sorry if that made for any confusion.

All the extras msycamore has already (plus whatever else comes up) will be bundled with the preservation. I even thought of trying DVD's alternate view function to put some of it in the movie stream. But that's new territory to me. I don't want to get stuck on it if it won't show smoothly, or if it will make for a problematic source-extraction for future restoration projects. Such additions will be in the extras part anyway.

Don't forget the '78 re-release trailer (it's low quality but kind of neat) and the 4 original 1971 Radio Spots ...

Definitely, and congrats on tracking down those radio spots!
Did I mention I hate hard drive crashes? :)

All English home video versions of the film from 1982 - 1995 lack this extended footage ... SilverWook's 16mm print also shares the same weird editing differences in the middle of the film (reordering of scenes) as those two broadcast versions.

I just found something else while writing this up and referencing those (U.S.) TV broadcasts. Just before the SEN-missing-scene, Silverwook's fullscreen print (19??) has the children playing rats-in-the-maze with snap-pans to show them all running around. The TNT fullscreen cablecast (1995, without the SEN-missing-scene) does not pan during that shot -- it's locked at a single position.
Yet another version? (At least, a different fullscreen printing for the version-mix.) :O
