Thank you Jetrell Fo, however if the 5.1 DD on the original non-anamorphic DVD is a discreet version of the Ultra-Stereo soundtrack, that might be more "wanted"/"needed".

Also, I still would like details on how the Blu-Ray soundtrack(s) are inferior. Since no one is replying, perhaps I'll have to look up the details myself, however this makes no sense because I'm not the OP.

Jetrell Fo, hmm, not sure what you mean...

The LD supposedly has the Ultra-Stereo soundtrack, and Ultra-Stereo decodes properly with Dolby decoders.

Also, the original non-anamophic DVD hopefully (when you reply and tell us (*blink blink*)) also has the Ultra-Stereo in 2.0 and should also decode property with Dolby decoders. However, this shouldn't be needed or necessary if the 5.1 on that disc is discreet and *highly* similar to the matrixed 2.0 Ultra-Stereo. Right?

My mistake .... I think I confused myself by being confused. LOL. Having a print of the film would at least give you whatever theatrical audio was used when the films was in theaters, after that it's probably pretty suggestive as to which is better or closer.

I just paid for the DVD so it will be a few days before it arrives. When it does, I'll rip the audio and offer it for anyone thinking they need to have it.
