The original mono track is on the Kino Lorber 4K and blu-ray
I should know cause I had to help prove to everyone that it wasn’t a downmix
The Kino Lorber 4K uses the laserdisc track
the guy to contact is on reddit, I don’t wanna publicly reveal his name
Could you tell me how to get in touch with this guy?
It was a dude I met on reddit
Both me and him are restoring the episodes of the show, over half of it is done currently
I can PM you more about it if you want
Can you PM me?
I did
Hey if there’s an updated version able to be made, I acquired 1080p rips of the original movie episodes for the seasons 4-5 finales and season 6 premiere, they all had their scenes re-arranged along with some minor cuts (plus I have the reconstructions of the movie edits for the seasons 1-3 finales in 1080p)
If you’re interested in getting them let me know
This was captured by a member here so we are good. If anyone needs a copy I can provide one via DM.
can I get one too?
could you pm me any info?

From what I know the 1999 DVD is the best source for the mono audio
A capture of it exists
update:
I met someone on reddit who’s reconstructing the episodes using a variety of recordings and DVD footage, right now he just started on season 5
Very interested to put my hands on it.
Do you have a link to the reddit page or user?Thanks
yes I do
can you please show me where to go i love tori!!!
Do you want a PM?
Hello, I’d love to get the series with the original music and all episodes. Hulu has completely failed at providing this show.

I’d like to contribute
I would be interested in digital copies containing the original music and all original episodes as well. Thank you.

I have them all (except for Gypsies…).
In fact, you used my notes to create this post. 😉
Can you also please help me locate these? I didn’t even knew there were uncut episodes until recently and I have searching everywhere to find them.
I have all except Gypsies
I’d like to get digital copies with original music

Is it finished now?
The transfer is finished, but I’m still waiting on the encode to be done for the movie. Once that is finished I’ll set up a download in my Discord server for both the raw transfer, and a “remastered” version. Is sharing links to Discord here against the rules? If not I’ll edit this post with a Discord link for further updates.
it is on the public forums yes, but you can PM others a link if they’re interested
The 5.1 mix on the new 4K of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly takes out the new sound effects and the mono track is a newly restored one taken from the 1990 laserdisc
Is it finished now?
Ah the 1999 version reflects the UK cinema cut, that’s why it was changed
Can you PM me a link to this version though?
Is it the US cut?
I might could do it if I had the time
I doubt they’re any better or worse than the first DVD considering it highly likely uses the same master
The Sting was originally released with mono audio and that’s how it was retained up to the first DVD release. When the movie saw a widescreen DVD release in 2005 it got a remixed 5.1 track that changed a lot of sound effects, fortunately the original track was included as well. Unfortunately when the movie came to blu-ray the original track got excluded and we only got the remix in English. Then there came a 4K release with some hoping the original mono track would be restored but sadly once again has been excluded.
I decided to make this thread in an attempt to preserve the original mix. It would be preferable for there a rip exist of the very first (open-matte) DVD because it reportedly had a better audio mastering than the 2005 DVD, but even the 2005 DVD would be fine with me.
If anyone has anything please let me know.
I believe MySpleen has a collection
Why was the Orion Pictures logo even removed in the first place?
Rights issues most likely
I’m curious, what’s wrong with the home video versions which would require a scan of the 35mm?
The original/current BD heavily screwed up the color timing and contrast, reminds me of The Matrix’s original BD in a way.
I assume they used the 2.1 transfer as a base, as the credits use the SM3 font rather than the original. Ironically, the 2007 Blu-Ray was way too “Blue.” These issues were fixed in the “Mastered in 4K” BD release in 2014, but only for that BD and the eventual 4K release. So the 2017 legacy collection uses the 2007 transfer, unfortunately.
There was actually a small change made after the theatrical release that was in all home video editions
Whenever you see the hospital exterior earlier in the movie the cross was changed to white unlike how it was in the theatrical release where it was red colored, due to complaints from the actual red cross corporation
I haven’t heard anything of the DVDs being edited but a few episodes are missing
