Goldfinger (1964)

The 5.1 mix on the blu-ray was evidently redone after the surround mix that was on the DVD received some angry feedback. It sounds like the stems they had to work with were quite limited, though, and it doesn't particularly add anything that the mono doesn't have. The mono mix is available only on the US blu-ray.

I must say, however, that the mono tracks on these Bond blu-rays don't sound particularly good. Better than the remixes, perhaps, but still not nearly as good fidelity-wise as the unfiltered audio tracks on the old LaserDiscs.
