Notes:Transferred from a 35mm fine grain print master.
The Wade Williams VHS release digitally applied tints and simulated step-printing in accordance with notes on the Super-Psychorama process intended for UK exhibition (it was abandoned as too costly) and simulated stereo sound from the M&E track included with the British materials.
Image's DVD cover states that this is the presentation on the disc;however, it is actually the unmodified fine-grain print master transfer with original mono sound. -
