1992 Warner LaserDisc [11199]: Audibly noise-managed with minimal high-frequency detail, yet preferable to the three editions below. The final music cue at the end (about 37 seconds) looks like it was spliced in from another source and is pitched 0.7 semitones too low when compared to the score CD (cat. GDICD006).
2001 Warner DVD: More hiss reduction than the '92 LD. I don't like its EQ - it's brighter and it's missing bass detail, so it sounds thin. The final music cue is correctly pitched.
2013 Icon Blu-ray: Even more hiss reduction than the DVD, to the point of dialogue often having an echoey quality. It's not quite as bright as the DVD and has more bass. The opening music (about 1.5 minutes) and the final 37 seconds are spliced in from a much higher quality source and sound so unlike the rest of the film - they don't blend well.
2015 Warner Blu-ray: Identical to the Icon track but a lossy transcode.
