Yeah, don’t be fooled by studios simply claiming that the original tracks are included. The recent UHD release of Halloween sadly is one of them.Īuthor ChainsawAsh Time 2 9:53 AM Post link The general release had a two channel stereo mix.Īdditionally some BD releases of Halloween and Mad Max have mono tracks that are actually downmixes of the surround track. It was based off an original six track mix which I believe was only used in a preview showing.

Raccoons Author crissrudd4554 Time 2 8:46 AM (Edited) Post link Though fortunately for at least most of these movies the original mono/dolby mix was provided alongside the 5.1 version on their blu ray releases (Terminator being the only exception), though for Grease the original Dolby mix finally resurfaced in 5.1 form on the recent 40th anniversary release There’s also been examples such as Grease and Scarface where although the original mixes were not mono they still were given 5.1 remixes later on that completely revised everything.Īuthor SpacemanDoug Time 2 4:31 AM (Edited) Post link So in this thread I think that some movies you think that were originally released in mono that were destroyed in later video releases can be listed here as to get them into light.Įxamples I would include are: Gone in 60 Seconds (1974), American Werewolf in London, The Blues Brothers, and Animal House.Īuthor crissrudd4554 Time 2 11:33 PM Post link I started this thread to get into light at how audio preservation just matters as much as video.
