UHD Blu-ray comes with a mono track, which appears to be a restored version, with some songs spliced from a higher quality source, but unfortunately all the other parts have been subjected to a lot of filtering, resulting in some parts sounding lifeless and background sounds almost disappearing.

Audio on the LaserDisc is the original mono mix, fully unfiltered, for the most part sounding better than the Blu-ray. It does have a fair amount of high frequency noise, which can easily be attenuated without detail loss, so a lightly filtered version was included as an option here as well. Previous remuxes (FiZ/PTP) already included a track sourced from this LD, but only a version with indiscriminate filtering and soundtrack CD splices.

Commentary track on the Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray is a stereo mix, with one speaker in the left channel, and one speaker in the right channel. This results in a poor listening experience, so a mono version of the commentary was included here. As the voices were possible to fully isolate, they have been put over the higher quality LD track.
