Just to clarify this is a project that I have made for myself which I am choosing to share. If you don't like the project, if you think it should have been done differently then feel free to keep that to yourself and consider doing your own project.

This was the first director's commentary track I listened to (TD LD).

Martin S.: "You have people coming up to you all day and they ask you ten thousand questions...but all of them are important."

Or something to that effect; probably incorrectly quoted as it was almost thirty years ago I heard it (and hopefully I'm not quoting the wrong CC TD LD DC here!  )

Congratulations, alleycat!

Looks superb!

The menus look astounding! It's absolutely fantastic that you have included the Criterion Laserdisc audio tracks as well. Is there any notable changes in the audio on blu-ray, etc with changes to music, sound effects, etc?

Thanks. Not done a comparison on the audio I'm afraid so I cannot say for sure, but usually the LD audio is superior to the Blu Ray.

You can read about the differences here.

Thanks for the link! I recently discovered this blog in the past week or so. It taught me to seek out the Laserdisc audio for Jaws before I watch it for the first time. Going to sync the audio to the 4K blu-ray tonight.

That looks really nice, good work.

This project has now been upgraded to V2. There were issues with the timing of two of the subtitle tracks on the previous release and this also now includes the Surround Soundtrack from the first DVD release. Thanks to Stamper for spotting the subs error and suggesting the DVD track.
