Ok, here are some more pics. That laserdisc colouring is looking more and more like the real deal.

(Only a partial frame for Brett, unfortunately - the book does occasionally crop shots).

I'll be damned. I'm very surprised to see see those two shots (Mother and Ash) match up as well as they do. It would of bet my life that neither was accurate. Hell those two shots are why I was leaning to reject the LD.

In a vacuum, the LD alone can't be trusted, neither can the book but together...the evidence piles up. I think I may grade to the LD, and then create three versions, one pure LD, one a bit bright and one a bit greener and brighter. See which one plays best. The LD timing combined with the unique soundtracks will hopefully make this project a great alternative to the Blu-ray.

Thanks Jonno, that was very helpful.
