i just read mr. harris's "a few words about... north by northwest" and soon, hopefully today, i gonna receive my copy. the film was recommended by many reviewers around the world because warner did a really good job bringing this gem on blu-ray in high quality. but there is one thing bugging me and that is not only with this film. it's with a lot films that come out on blu-ray and that's the missing original audio mix on lossless form.
many films undergo a high level Restoration in all departments but when it comes to the original mix studios only include it in lossy dolby digital or a newly created upmix to 7.1 (star trek 1 - 6, stargate, etc.). why not go that extra mile and include the original mix in lossless audio? space is mostly not an issue.
disney once gave us an option on dvd with there special home theater mixes (the lion king). you could listen to them or choose the original theatrical presentation. this should be nowadays no problem, especially on blu-ray.
so please include the original mixes in lossless audio for the purist.
