greg_t gave you the short version of LoA information.
The disc which you seem to like is not David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia. It is a version edited by Chace Audio to fit their desires.
The high definition version currently available contains the electronic enhancement which can still be seen in the Superbit version. Although quite beautiful, the current HiDef master may have to be remade in order to rid it of EE added by the technicians during that transfer.
Unfortunately, I neither own nor control Sony, nor was I involved with the old HiDef mastering, which I did not approve.
If it was remastered today by Columbia's Grover Crisp, no doubt it would be perfect, and we would all be happy.
If you do happen to like Lawrence, please do not view your non-Superbit edition.
It is best used as a coaster.
