which I don't have. That's important since what most people don't know is that the two laserdiscs are slightly different. The one I have has the titles for the characters in Italian and there are some tiny other differences.

That's really the odd thing. There are little bits missing here and there: the howling coyote during the walk-up of the three first baddies for example.

That's not an actual problem as I have the DVD track as a backup.

EDIT: I will check my copies. I have the boxset and 1998 LD remaster, and R1 original DVD. IIRC the later LD's audio is a bit cleaner with less noise.

I think the 1998 LD should have the best quality if it's in PCM. When checking the intro music, just in the beginning (with the animated horseman) there is a triple repetition of the "ai-ai-aaah" motif. The third rendition sounds like it was heavily clipping - an effect not present on the 1998 DVD AC3 at this point.

Anyone know where to find the Mondo anymore? I need a copy along with ordering the German BDs of the first two. According to bluray.com there is a new Italian BD but I don't know if it's the same master.

The transfer is still the same, however, the region is locked to B on the new edition. You can get it here.
