WB 4K Blu-ray, caveat: the 1.33:1 ratio is NOT included. HDR is sometimes bright.
WB LaserDisc: original Dolby Stereo mix direct copy
Warner Archive Blu-ray:original mix new transfer, a tad clearer but not quite as rich sounding
4K Blu-ray has various issues holding it back despite the new scan. No Academy ratio version is included. The new remix audio is louder, harsher and nowhere near as good as the original. The original option on the 4K Blu-ray is processed and sounds lackluster. The LaserDisc sounds best by far with the Warner Archive Blu-ray coming in a close second.
