Nope was just missing on the HDD when I sent the scans to the US, one of the reasons I want to rescan, I'm not at all happy with the original scan.

Just to be clear, this scan had nothing to do with the -1 team, as far as I know they picked up the raw scan from Anctu and decided to do stuff with it (which is fine, that is what it is for, I'm happy for them or anyone else to do whatever they like with it). I have nothing to do with the various versions of it that have appeared/may appear.

As for it replacing Puggo's version in any way, that is just nonsense. It is just a scan of a Super8 release, and not a very good scan, it was really just a test of the scanner to see if the Super8 version was worth archiving, and for others to mess with as they see fit.

Each scan is what it is, I'm all for open discussion as to which versions have more detail/less detail, grain and contrast differences etc. as I find this stuff interesting, but the notion that somehow a scan of a Super8 film somehow replaces someone else's scan of a 16mm film is kind of beyond me.

I'll be having another crack at it when well enough to do so, people seem interested in seeing what the Derann release looked like, and it does have some differences to other film versions, so it seems there is enough interest to do a good job of it.

Just enjoy the scans folks :)
