I bought it. Ordered it yesterday.

That explains why you already have it in your hands – I'm waiting because I went with the Indiegogo perk.

The picture has a lot of white specks/damage near the beginning. I know they had to use two sources, so that would explain why it gets better, but the sound is awful. It's like you're listening to people talking in the next room. That being said, it actually sort of adds to the whole experience, as if you're actually watching a drive-in/Grindhouse movie.

Have you seen it on dvd? I've got it The sound has always been like that, although the many one to one conversations are clear.

I haven't. There's quite a loud buzz through some of it too. I imagine it's due to the low budget and no-one taking care of the materials for the past 39 years.,

It's not that long since i watched the film via a Mill Creek box set and i don't remember any loud buzzing sound. It seems like this could have come from improving the mix and bringing all 'noise' to the fore.

Does anyone else have issues with the sound on some of the 88 releases?

The ones that I have trouble with are the 'Bloodsucking Freaks' DVD, where the audio seems to be out-of-sync with the visuals and also the 'Nightmares In A Damaged Brain' blu-ray, where the sound is very quiet during the spoken dialogue, but very loud during the screams and sound effects - I had to watch it with the DVD remote in hand, constantly changing the volume levels

This happens to me all the time. I put it down to the fact I don't have 5 speakers haha. Inception and The Signal were the worst...whispering then BANG

If you're not using a surround sound setup then its often better to check audio options on the disc and switch to a 2.0 option or stereo.

Often i put it to stereo in a 5:1 set up. Lower budget films weren't filmed as five channel surround and can be a real muck up in the volume stakes otherwise.
