I know. Even the elderly transfer used for the first DVD in 1999 is different in it's framing.
Can't recall who said they were going to capture the LD audio at the moment.
I would be sorely tempted if a 35mm print turned up. The one I saw in 2006 was scratchy, but the color was fine. We'd have to restore the correct Warners logo at the beginning of course. ;)
BTW, there's a new book on The Shining coming out next month I'm really looking forward to.
