Shadows (1959)

All of these sound pretty mediocre.

1998 Pioneer LaserDisc [PSE98-165]: The most aggressively filtered among these - very muffled.

2004 Criterion DVD: Still loads of noise reduction, but high-frequency sounds are better preserved than on the LD. This was mastered by Audio Mechanics.

2012 BFI Blu-ray: Identical to the Criterion DVD.

2013 Criterion Blu-ray: More rolled off (EQ) than the Criterion DVD and BFI blu-ray, but otherwise similar. It's derived from the same old Audio Mechanics mastering.



8/15/2022: Added the Pioneer LaserDisc and Criterion DVD
