Difference between different prints of 'Tommy'


I put 2 brief clips together of small ways that different releases of "Tommy" have been different because...well, basically because I'm a big ol' geek for this movie!

Enjoy!

Brad: I saw the new digital restoration of Tommy at an Academy screening last month and am happy to report that the new Tommy blu-ray will include the shot where Frank and Nora are returning home.

Thanks for your comments and glad you liked the clips! The only things some of us have guessed about the audio (thanks WeHo Steve, ha ha) is that maybe the "Quintophonic" version of the sndtrk is different from regular stereo prints that would have been released, or every time they do a "re-master" they have to remix it and change things. Who knows! It's gotten to the point with movies (example: Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind or Superman 2) where there IS no longer a "definitive" version, it seems, which is frustrating for us geeky "completist" types, ha ha.
