1988 MGM/Turner Hi-Fi VHS: Detailed and natural.
2008 R1 Warner Bros DVD - Frank Sinatra Collection: More muffled due to noise reduction.
2015 Warner Bros Blu-ray: Like the DVD but with a treble boost. Also a lossy transcode.

DE Koch Media is presented in the correct 25fps and is likely better compressed than UK Dogwoof (29 vs 14 Mbps), but it doesn’t have English subtitles.
US Drafthouse is in 24fps for Region A compatibility, and is encoded at around 30 Mbps.
(Although bitrate does not solely determine the quality of the encode, the difference is large enough here and there are no publicly available caps.)
No info on the JP VAP Blu-ray.
DE Koch Media and US Drafthouse feature a lossless 5.1 track. Dogwoof offers only AC-3.
