Do you mean the Signature Collection LD, not DVD? I thought the Signature Collection LD PCM for The Thing was already preserved, bit-perfect, for the spoRv project? It's listed on the first post. I feel like if it had the music replaced, it would have been brought up during the making of spoRv, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to check.

 All the information you need on The Thing is here: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-Thing-1982-sound-mixes/topic/15709/

Short answer: While the earlier 1990 laserdisc suffered from the altered soundtrack, the 1998 signature edition restores the correct original mix. It is this version which I synced for the spoRv project.

As for the mono on Jaws, I only have the 1992 disc to refer to; while the music substitution is regrettable, the "bitch" is loud and clear! Hopefully someone can source the signature mix for a (presumably) ideal track...
