There were two very close releases, 1999 box set which was the LD masters and Kubrick before he died approved.
Then there was the 2001 version where they remixed the tracks but still left the masters in 4/3 widescreen.
Then much later, then re-released their same crappy remixed tracks now in 16/9 DVDs. (Even though back in 2001 they sweared Kubrick would have hated anamorphic enhancement because the perspective would have changed, quote Vitali on that).
Then they released the Blu-ray versions which were the last DVDs masters.
It's all a mess once he died.
I bought the original Box Set for 10 bucks, and don't bother anymore on any other remaster.
