1993 Fox Video LaserDisc [3434-80]: Quite detailed and natural sounding. This is the only edition among these to retain the 4-minute scene with the armless violinist, which was cut between the London and worldwide premiere. I've removed it from the spectrals below for easier comparison.
2000 Image Entertainment DVD: The same as the Fox Video LD (though with the aforementioned scene absent).
2005 R2 MK2 DVD: Strong hiss and bass reduction and a treble boost. It sounds shrill.
2010 Savor Blu-ray: Slightly better EQ than the MK2 DVD, but still bad.
2015 Criterion Blu-ray: A lot more naturally EQed than the earlier blu-ray and MK2 DVD, but it's still very muffled and has no real bass.
11/2/2023: Added the Fox Video LaserDisc.
