Speaking of Spy, where is the original audio located? Every DVD has 5.1, and the LDs have 5.1 or a Dolby Surround mix. For a 1977 movie the mix would have to be just stereo. The 1988 MGM LD appears to have the original on the analog channels and is not time compressed.

Am I thinking correctly on this? I may be totally off.

Six-track sound? Surround sound had been around long before Dolby Digital came out.

That is they were designed to be played back through 5.1 equipment *only* and the mix was done accordingly, and was usually very close to the cinematic release.


Forgive me, but how can you prove this? It sounds like speculation to me.
