[Request] Rocky Horror faux stereo
#11
If you want the digital tracks bit perfect, I capture straight into a CD recorder with a optical input.

My current method for video capture is off my oldest LD player, which is analog sound only into a DVD recorder at the highest quality setting, but the audio will be captured as PCM.

That could be cool. No hurry though I have a bunch of sync on the plate before this, but I'm sure many fans would be happy to watch the film with the sound they grew up with.

Also there's the Japanese version

This disc includes "Super Heroes" in it's rightful place in the movie which was left off of all American releases until the DVD came out.

Yes, that is the one I have. Bought it years ago sealed on ebay for like $10. Haha

Btw, Does anyone know if the true Mono sound exists in a lossless form anywhere? I only have the AC3 from the old dvd. Tbh, this film needs a good fan restoration. I tried to get help years ago with it but no takers. There is something wrong with every release on home video. Missing blue/red tint, screwed up audio, incorrect framing and so on. We need a true original theatrical version with alternate audio tracks from the LD and such. This film is my favorite musical ever.

Maybe a worn out bootleg somewhere has the mono. I see 16mm prints turn up on ebay once in a while, but they tend to go for a lot of money.

According to a thread on BluRay.com, the Time Warp flashback at the end originally had a tint on theatrical prints as well. This frame is from a Japanese tape, presumably a bootleg?

I'd like to see a restoration project too.

Right, I always heard the Time Warp flashback had a blue tint but am still yet to see it in real life. I've only seen it on home video. We need a restoration project with a few members involved. The opening credits on the BD also have a weird framing issue but if I remember right the HDX version on vudu has it correct and could maybe be capped to use paired with the BD. After that the tints would need fixed and then add all the audio tracks and there ya go! Done. Not the most complicated project around here.

Are there screenshots of the framing issue with the titles somewhere?

A fan restoration / preservation does float around on the internet by a Dr. Saperstein titled THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW : A PRESERVATION.
Just thought I'd bring it up is all...

That name rings a bell. I wonder if he's been around OT and I haven't noticed?

That seems more a recreation of the "conceptual" version than the theatrical. Still, it could form the basis of a theatrical restoration.

Did fans ever notice that some things were off with the Blu-ray? Because after years of going to see it at midnight you would've memorized every scene, dialogue, sound out there.

I believe they did. I saw a detailed breakdown of the mono versus stereo mixes on a fan website many years ago. And this was before the DVD release. IIRC, the RHPS fanbase lobbied Fox for the mono mix to be included.
