    A 4K/UHD Award should be given to Universal for this now completed and consistently exquisite 3 Volume collection of Alfred Hitchcock. IMHO, this is by far one of THE most satisfying physical media products and packages ever to be produced in the 4K/UHD format. Hats-Off, Five Stars and A+ in...

    Nope, no Warners boxed-set required. I’m just seeking a stand-alone release of North by Northwest on a 4K/UHD.disc. Saw a magnificent presentation of NxNW at The Bedford Playhouse when they re-opened their doors, a few years back, to their beautifully restored theater. Jaw-dropping gorgeous...

    With14 Hitchcock films now uniformly housed in a 3 Volume set of remarkable 4K/UHD discs, how could that other competing studio not feel the timing to be ripe for releasing North by Northwest even sooner, and within the same aforementioned format?

    Although I will always buy for content, I completely agree with AlanP; as the original artworks are indelible For my money, the posters had always set the tone for the film being attended and were a contextual part of that whole first experience.

    Nothing wrong about liking what we like; be it the steelbook, the stand alones, the boxed sets, physical media or streaming. Bring ‘em all on and with no limits is my motto.:cool:

    If only my own spine had as many restored & working discs. Alas, I’d be able to lift again.:D Meanwhile, I’m not so concerned about the cover art, but I do agree that it would be a nice touch to see a “Volume 2” embossed somewhere on the design. Not a deal breaker, by any means, as I’m...

    For those who have yet to purchase the 4-Disc Set, I would go ahead and buy it. Then, check to see if the “Psycho” Mono 4K disc: 1150224 is now present. If it is not, then simply buy the stand-alone knowing you’ll be out an extra few bucks; but, beneficially, you will save months of time...

    Definitely quizzical within its delays, no doubts; but you will ultimately be very pleased, as I was, with this first-time listening experience of the Original Mono Track. Meanwhile, I lend my thanks to those upon this thread who had alerted us all to this 1960 design and it’s worthy...

    8 months, 2 days and 6 emails later... “Psycho” and the Mono Track has finally arrived. Thankfully, no signature was required; as I was literally out for less than 10 minutes picking up a bottle of Draino at the convenience store. Truly, when considering both items in hand, it all seemed to be...

    Thanks Nick. But what I was saying is that separate stand-alone 4K/UHD editions of all four titles were being discussed on the boards. And yes, I agree, it would be far too complicated to recall all of those sets; as the mailings of a replacement disc is definitely less problematic. Well...

    Is there any confirmation that a Stand-Alone edition of "Psycho" in 4K/UHD; with the mono sound design; will eventually become available? Needless to say, my replacement disc was never shipped to me; despite their email promise of March 10th. It is what it is. Meanwhile, I shall pick up the...

    Here is my guess. Of those who have the interest in hearing the original mono sound design, and have not yet received their replacement disc, they would have to take one for the team and purchase the stand-alone 4K/UHD at an extra cost. The initial error of mono omission had occurred...

    A walk will do a body good. As I was nearing our local convenient store I spied, at the set of traffic lights ahead, the glorious sight of a FedEx van. My chest and throat had a rush and a surge. I stopped. I froze. I didn’t take another step forward. I just simply watched. The traffic...

    Agreed, it is not the end of the world. Not by a light year. My fuming, though, is based on having once already walked away from this overly extended debacle; the forgiving and forgetting of it all, as they say; only then to be pulled right back in by a branch of Universal contacting me with a...

    “Arriving any day now” is a truism, but it’s just not going to be any one of those 208 days that I, myself, have waited upon; and yes, for the very first time, I actually counted the calendar dates before making this post. The expediency of WAC’s disc replacement program is exemplary...

    This is the 31st day since Universal sent me a promissory email stating a 2-4 week window for the arrival of my replacement discs. I would be far less miffed had they never sent me their notice from the start. Hey Universal, what’s the holdup? :angry:

    Just received an email notification from Universal stating that an upcoming delivery will occur in “2-4 weeks”. For those still waiting, my first contact was September 17, 2020. My 4th and final attempt was a month ago, on February 11.

    Fortunately, for us, Universal does have principles; but L.A. County still remains the Covid epicenter to the entire world. Keep us posted, as I do hope that this gets itself worked out for all involved. :cool:

    4 Months and One Week Later... At this juncture in time, Alfred Hitchcock is seemingly no longer “The Master of Suspense”. Indeed, this title may now belong to Universal and their replacement disc program. As of today, I remain in limbo. Other than this issue, my pending 5-Star review for...
