I would much rather have the original TTWII movie with upgraded video and sound quality on Blu-ray.BlackpoolEPfan wrote: November 10th, 2025, 4:02 am Whatever happened to the rumoured blu ray re-release of "E.O.T" with reinstated "Johnny B. Goode" opening credits sequence?? Anyone any idea??
Absolutely agree. The special edition looks and sounds good but misses some essential moments of the original, like I just Can't Help Believin' and Sweet Caroline. The original definitely needs an upgrade...

Yes… and the DVD version is so poor that I’m almost speechless.Bilbobaggins wrote: November 11th, 2025, 1:31 amAbsolutely agree.

I'd be surprised too if it gets a release on bluray (or 4K). But if those lightweight 60's movies get a bluray release... then a musically relevant movie like TTWII (the original, that is) should deserve an upgrade. It was a missed opportunity when the Special Edition was released, that a bonus disc with the original, remastered, wasn't included.KingElvis wrote: November 11th, 2025, 4:31 am

Still, I’ll be very surprised if it ever gets released on Blu-ray.
There was a time when I really wanted the original on Blu-ray, but after a fan
made a really great version with the missing footage — upscaled video and added
stereo sound — that he posted on FECC about three years ago, I really don’t
think about the original movie anymore.

I do believe whenever "On Tour" has been screened on the Sky Arts channel in recent years, it has been the original opening credits sequence with "Johnny B. Goode"!!!BlackpoolEPfan wrote: November 10th, 2025, 4:02 am Whatever happened to the rumoured blu ray re-release of "E.O.T" with reinstated "Johnny B. Goode" opening credits sequence??
