There's a lot of conflicting info out there about the various releases. LDDB doesn't list any of the LDs as being stereo. A note for the 1995 THX release says that the older (1991) widescreen disc had reel change burns (MrBrown, which Image widescreen LD do you have, THX or non-THX?)
Also, there seem to have been two different full-frame transfers too, because the Thorn-EMI-HBO LD doesn't have an Orion logo at the beginning, but the later Image full-screen disc (around 1988-89?) has the Orion logo. The first Image LD was still under license from HBO, their logo was at the start, but the widescreen discs were after the rights had reverted to Hemdale. (I believe both widescreen transfers have the Hemdale logo at the start.)
Also, is the Thorn-EMI transfer the one where the Harlan Ellison acknowledgment was a tiny video-generated text notice buried in the end credits? I've read that Ellison complained that the acknowledgment was not sufficient, and that was when the start of the end credits was fully redone to insert the more prominent Ellison credit.
My Image LD is non-THX. the THX LD seems to arrive upcoming week. Maybe next one. The non-THX image LD is stated to be m,ono on the backside. It has the Hemdale Logo.
I did not notice any Harlan Ellison acknowledgement in the credits. Maybe they where done on a later Full Screen release? Maybe the above mentioned Image Full Screen release?

There's no listing it as stereo, but if you total running time is 102mn, and it's the full screen then it features the spatialised mono to stereo conversion. I'm sure many will be happy seing it preserved. It's the version where there's not the picture of laserdisc gold disc on the front cover. I think it's the one you have. If you can rip it to usb, that would be insanely awesome, I could retime it to the current disc.
The fake Chase stereo mix LD is that one. Cameron had it redone later on with the correct speed of the film, and with correct mono track without enhancement.

If I have the possibillity to capture the A/V from LAserdiscs, we can check running time. The Backcover states 108 mn. running time.
What logo/picture is not at the frontcover?
What's up with the Image DVD release? Anything nice to know regarding that?
