The Audio Preservation Thread — Page 15

Hi all,

I PMed PDB a couple times a few months ago, asking if I could be sent links to a few films, but they may have gone overlooked. I'd be hugely appreciative if anyone could share with me any of the following:

• Alien (Andrea's version)
• Aliens
• Back to the Future - (Synced to DCP)
• Batman (1989)
• Duck You Sucker
• The Fly
• The Hunt for Red October
• Ghostbusters (Jonno's version)
• The Goonies
• Mad Max 2/Road Warrior
• North by Northwest (Criterion)
• Once Upon a Time in the West
• Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom
• Robocop
• Star Trek (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
• The Thing (Jonno's version)

I'd also like to offer my services if anyone would like additional help syncing -- I have a bit of Avisynth experience with it. And if anyone would be interested in a fairly extensive (but still quite condensed) list of 'original mix versus remix' differences (and preferences for different versions of the same mix), I'd be happy to share my personal findings as well!

Thank you :-)

is the DTS 2.0 track on the jaws BD the best mono track for jaws out there? or is it a somehow problematic track?

PDB do you happen to have Day of The Dead bit perfect PCM?

 Sorry DJ I don't have it.

Is there ANY chance in hell someone has the P&S US LD versions of Halloween 4 & 5 that contain the Ultra Stereo mixes on them?  These do not exist anyplace else but the LD and they should be sync'd to the new Bluray releases?

ANY assistance IS appreciated.

:)

jedit .... sorry.

:)

Any word on the laserdisc audio for FLASH GORDON?

Damn these might be really hard to find, I actually tried to find them because now I am kind of interested to hear how these sound, I actually love parts 4 & 5!

The Japanese release of 4 is on eBay from an Australian seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181660062635

Why the heck do the U.S. LDs seem to be so rare? Did Fox only do one short pressing run of each?

The Japanese LD does not have Ultra Stereo.

Agreed.  I think the new BD releases would benefit greatly from their addition.  It will be tough finding them for sure. 

where do you find hard to find laserdiscs if not ebay because looked at another site that says it has hard to find laserdiscs. but the laserdiscs of halloween 4 and 5 with the ultra stereo tracks aren't on there how rare are these laserdiscs?

DJ, let me know what you find.  Maybe we can work something out where we can go 1/2's on the purchase to get this done.

Thanks, I just went to LDDB again and see no buy option anywhere on either part 4 or 5, so I need to see actual purchase links, but I am not seeing any.

you have to register to get the buy option.

 Apologies

had another look and the prices listed are 'past' selling prices. The bit above says shop availability which is zero so at the moment. I haven't used it in so long I didn't realise they tweaked the format (it only displayed current items for sale originally)

not sure if you're on facebook but there are a couple of great Laerdisc pages on there with a lot of guys (US based) selling titles

I have feelers out already on a few FB pages for these.  I will keep you all posted.
