Psycho (1960) (60th Anniversary Edition) (Uncut)

[crissrudd4554]

In a nutshell the remastered track has revisions. The purpose of having the ORIGINAL mono as opposed to a downmix, which this release currently has but is about to be rectified, is to allow viewers the option to hear the film with the mix the film had theatrically. It’s not just “being able to hear it in mono”. If the remastered track didn’t revise the sound effects so much I doubt many people would care. But given that revisions were made, providing a mono track which retains those revisions is absolutely pointless. Having the ORIGINAL mono provides the film with its theatrical presentation, without the revisions made for the remix. Its as simple as that.

Oh yeah, I can see that. And now that I understand why, I do fully agree!

Thanks!
