Original matrixed Dolby Stereo: Curzon 4K Blu-ray

Korea Blu-ray

Korea Blu-ray has less limiting, proper 24-bit audio, and does not cut off the last few second of music

No comparisons available, UK Curzon Blu-ray boxset, Australia Umbrella Blu-ray boxset, US Strand Releasing OOP Blu-ray, or very old France TF1 Blu-ray

Korea disc is near-identical, caps

2025 Curzon UK Blu-ray or 2013 TF1 FR Blu-ray (caps)

Curzon has a slightly better encode and preserves all the noise of the digital source, but ends up obscuring actual detail in some shots. Both are quite good, only caveat being that the TF1 disc is slightly cropped and has a black bar on top.

2008 Artificial Eye UK and 2025 Umbrella AU discs have incorrect pitch. TF1 FR disc is missing 7 minutes of audio in the left channel. See spectrograms.
