...and what a match it could be! :)

Do the specs of the forthcoming Momentum release still stack up against the recent German edition, or have they been somewhat trimmed? Because the Momentum is looking suspiciously inexpensive...!

Well, whoever wins, I will claim them as prize!
Really looking to replace my knackered VHS mono copy!

Thanks for the info,

When this was mentioned on DVD Times a comment said identical to the German release. This is what has happened to other Momentum releases so don't expect any differences.
Also UK price of £17.99 is consistent with other Momentum releases. These range from £15.99 to £19.99 depending upon profile of title apart from the £9.99 budget range so seems okay.

Looking forward to an anamorphic picture.

Hopefully, it'll follow the Momentum trend of appearing in an HMV sale not too long after release.

What are the sound specs on this new version - I have the original BMG release with PCM sound. Will it be worth upgrading?

Unfortunately only 2.0 rather than a 5.1 remix
There is now a review of the disk on R2 project

Not an over-encouraging one, either, except for the comments on the transfer....
