Don't worry, this has become the sort of Bond repository.
I'd love some of those trailers if I had either the spare cash or means to properly store and project them! I truly appreciate you and your team's work on these, they are a treasure.

Goldfinger
...
We know how 2001 is Kubrick's approved transfer on the early Criterion which has different color than the MGM, but had to be sourced from 35mm and is slightly hazy in comparison to the later MGM CLV disc which was able to use the 70mm print to source a new transfer. The MGM had completely inaccurate color and had to be redone for the later CAV 25th anniversary boxset reissue. The same transfer was used but this time in full CAV and with redone color to better match the Criterion and SK's approval.
Goldfinger follows the EXACT same pattern. Comparing the Criterion CAV, Connery Collection CLV from MGM and the full CAV anniversary boxset from MGM reveals that:
1. The Criterion is print sourced of some type: with dropouts in the audio, some crackle and pops, some distortion. But there are no visible reel change markers which could indicate a non-release print.
2. The Criterion has vastly deep color that is VERY VERY saturated like their Dr. No.
3. The MGM CC CLV disc has none of this color, appears much brighter as if contrast was boosted, yet has much better detail as if from a higher generation element. This is even visible on CLV compared to the Criterion CAV, just like the visual superiority on the equivalent discs of 2001.
4. The CAV boxset has even more detail and redone color. It was supposedly form a new print struck off the negative. However close comparison reveals many of the same marks and defects in the CLV disc's transfer. It appears as if this was yet again another recoloring and reissue on CAV of an earlier brightened disc.
5. The color of the CAV is closer to the Criterion but much more normalized. if watching the CLV if one deepened the color, turned down the contrast and brightness levels, the image would begin to look like the new look of the CAV set.
6. The CAV set has edge enhancement though that seems to not be present on the CLV disc. It was also reframed slightly, losing some headroom and gaining a few lines on the right side of the frame.
7. Both PCM mono tracks on the MGM's are clean and appear virtually the same. The CAV may have been cleaned up a bit more.
8. The Criterion correctly has the titles in mono, both MGM's replace it with the more common stereo version due to revisionism. They also did this on their North by Northwest disc.
9. The Criterion is the ONLY release to ever feature the missing frames from Oddjob driving Mr. Solo.
So there you have it. Since there was such a discrepancy between the Criterion and MGM Dr. No discs, which use the same print, i cannot exactly tell which color is always accurate. Terrence Young signed off on the Criterion discs for DN and FRWL, but the recolored MGM CAV Goldfinger is probably more accurate to the negative source.
Thus, it seems if you want the most vintage experience possible, try Criterion for something more akin too early 60's printing. The MGM's offer better detail but not necessarily as striking color.
