I'm the OP of the HTF thread regarding this release...here's a link to the latest info regarding "A Hard Day's Night": http://www.nme.com/news/the-beatles/76087...

The technical details of this release as far as I've been able to determine from multiple sources over the past 2 months: 4k-ultra-HDTV restoration from original camera negatives for the movie itself, along with a full-blown 5.1-channel music surround remix from EMI session reels at Abbey Road Studios in London by Sir George Martin's son Giles...these materials were originally located 8 years ago for the Beatles' Cirque Du Soleil multimedia presentation "Love" now playing at the Mirage Hotel and were used for this project. Historical purists will be happy to also know that the original mono soundtrack IS included as restored by audio specialist Ron Furmanek for the 2004 release...this time, it will be used without further processing to recreate a 5.1-channel soundtrack, as the original music stems have been located as previously mentioned. Turner Classic Movies is reissuing this movie theatrically in the US July 4th weekend, and the blu-ray will be available on July 21st in the UK and the 22nd here in the US!!!
