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. ;)

Oh man, the '99 DVD was one ugly release. One of the first DVD's I ever bought. It did provide the mono mix but I recall the track was very weak. Suddenly got the urge to check it out to see if it was as poor as I remember but it appears I no longer own it. I believe one of the old PAL DVD's have the original mix for the International Cut. The audio was slightly reworked between cuts I think.

Yes, I miss the old red Warner Communications logo at the start. Nice to hear there's old prints out there with the colors still intact. The print I saw a few years ago (International Cut) was severely faded and rough. Still a great experience.

BTW, there's a new book on The Shining coming out next month I'm really looking forward to.
