Could someone post an example of the compression issues? I do not see them.

Also, the framing is significantly different between Indicator's and 88's discs. The former looks severely cropped in comparison. So, to me, yes, that in itself makes the 88 disc a worthwhile upgrade. You can always just get the BD if you do not feel a film like this merits a 4K release (I can see that as a valid point).

Those framing differences are likely the result of the images you are looking at being photos with a cell phone instead of a screen capture

I thought of that, but they all seem to share the exact same problem and you can also see what looks like the display's frame/bezel, too. 88's was scanned from the original negative.
