Best Audio:

Universal PAL DVD (caveat: it's missing a minute of footage, plus usual PAL speed-up)

All Blu-ray tracks originate from the same transfer, but with strong noise gating and terrible EQ, adding a compensatory bass and treble boost, sounding boomy and accentuating the hiss despite less detail.
