it usually pays to hold off buying 88 out of the gate. not saying Severin's will be better (but they usually are). i'll be basing my choice on the online comparisons when they get posted.

here's a view of the artwork

Anthro looks the same, as it's one of the few 88films releases, that they actually did a proper color correction, which hopefully they will continue to do, when needed.

Absurd though, needs some additional work done.
And it looks like it got some in those clips.
But will wait for the reviews before I upgrade.

Anyone who purchased the severin version of THE CHANGELING might want to check out their Facebook page. Theres some missing audio on the 5.1 track and a missing frame. The CD apparently has issues as well. Second sight picked it up when they were getting there release ready (which is apparently unaffected).

I watched THE CHANGELING yesterday.
All I can say is WOW!
After owning almost every version under the sun,this looks and sounds stunning.

Will need to compare when my 2nd sight set arrives this week!

I thought 88's release of Absurd and the Anthrophagous re-issue looked pretty good. Curious to see how Severin's transfers compare. Looks like Severin is the winner in terms of extras though.

LOVE that ABSURD artwork.
Consider it sold!

If I've got the dough,I usually buy both 88 and Severin editions.

From the DVD Compare notes

"GENERAL NOTES:
Some brief instances of dialogue are missing from the 5.1 remix on the Severin edition. We will update if or when Severin address the issue. The dialogue is intact on the Second Sight 5.1 track.

RESPONSE FROM SEVERIN FILMS:
" It has come to our attention that the newly created 5.1 audio track on our release of THE CHANGELING is missing 6 instances of off-camera or in the dark dialogue audio. While these audio snippets are present in the original 2.0 stereo track as it was released back in 1980, they were missed when the new track was created and because they're spoken off-camera, in long shot or in the dark they escaped the QC at the sound facility, at the check disc stage and indeed by all of the pre-release reviews of the disc. It was actually spotted during the authoring of our colleagues' Second Sight Films' UK disc which was to street soon after our release. Whether or not it was easily noticeable however does not change the fact that they are indeed errors and the sound house have gone back to the elements to correct their mistake.

As such we are offering a Version 2 replacement disc for customers. We will also be taking this opportunity to correct a skipped frame within the feature.

If you've purchased THE CHANGELING and wish to get a replacement disc, please email changelingreplacement@gmail.com with your receipt or confirmation of purchase (from wherever you purchased it; this is NOT only applicable to purchases from the Severin store) and we will ship your replacement as soon as we have finished goods (about 3-4 weeks to allow for re-authoring and replication).

In addition we have been alerted to the fact the first run of the Soundtrack CDs also have a glitch in Track 29. We will also send a replacement CD along with the Blu.

We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your continued support.

-Severin Films"
