No. Me neither.

Ok... that’s weird. Surely the new standalone Blu-ray isn’t the older disc too? This is why I didn’t want to sell my 35th anniversary disc yet.

So far it's only the guy on this video that's saying that. Strangely, the packaging does not advertise the variant special feature that appear on this disc including trivia tracks, A Cut Above and the original commentary. Only the ones from the 35th which are, I assume, included in the UHD itself.

Great way to celebrate the 40th Anniversary isn't it? Issuing an eleven year old disc that is generally considered inferior, colour wise. And is unarguably inferior condition wise (scratches and hairs are visible etc) to the one issued five years ago and sold out v quickly.

According to press materials, the included Blu-ray includes the 7.1 Dolby TrueHD from the remastered release, so this guy could be incorrect.

There is a document which shows specs.

That can't be correct that's it's 2007 Blu-ray
The packaging is listing the 35th Anniversary edition disc extras

Video also is showing the 35th anniversary Blu-ray disc

Extras on a UHD disc is rare as most times it's only a trailer and audio commentary

Extras very unlikely would be on the UHD disc and is why the Blu-ray would be included for the extras

Perhaps they pressed the wrong disc? It wouldn't be the first time it's happened.

Stuff like this makes my brain hurt, from the comments:

-Is this region A 4K disc or is it region free?
-Region coding doesn't exist on 4K Blu-rays, every single 4K Blu-ray release worldwide is instantly region free.
-Sometimes not all 4k movies are released region free..it all depends on the movie studios..
4 example here are region free 4k releases by movie studios..
Warner bros..
Universal pictures
Sony pictures..but it depends on a movie that might be region A only..
Paramount pictures
Disney..same as sony depends on a movie that might be region A only...
Fox studios..depends on a movie it may be region A only..
Lionsgate..region A only...

that's crazy if it's the older disc, as has newer disc art too
as mentioned earlier

no mention of Atmos now either
still mono track and 7.1 are both good anyway
wonder if UK and US releases will be the same ?

at least UHD getting Dolby Vision HDR upgrade
as don't think BD will be any different now either, and may even be older release no wonder its only £4.99

But according to the back cover in that video the mono is lossy on the 4K, on the Blu in the Halloween 15 disc box-set the mono is lossless

yeh you're right, didn't notice that
oh well
I really like the English Dolby True HD 7.1 mix anyways

but I'm annoyed no Atmos, as was advertised at first to have Atmos upgrade too

already have both previous BD releases, the 35th and older release
and all the extras (I don't have US Box release with the lossless mono, as was region locked at the time)

so only reason for me to get this is for Dolby Vision/HDR on the UHD/4k
I've ordered the US 4k/BD but won't get till December as ordered with some late Nov titles,
though I'm not in a rush as not 4k yet anyway

It's also not the original theatrical mono, but confirmed to be the fold-down of the 5.1 track, which is a travesty.
