I tried a test color-correction to confirm that the 2001 HD release screenshot from the DVDBeaver review, linked previously wasn’t some unholy Lucas-Lowry space graffiti. Fortunately not, for my simple histogram R-G-B manipulations corrected the spectrum nicely:

We did scan the second print - audio as well as video … The scanner just finished rebuilding and calibrating the mag machine to get the best scan possible …
