Hi DeWilson!DeWilson said:I've actually have seen a B&W KINESCOPE of the Broadcast! If they could find that, they could LiveFeed process it, and then overlay the best color signal (like they did with those UK Doctor Who recoveries) to create a better looking print. They could sweeten the audio from the two existing sources mixed with the optical sound of the kinescope.
I've read that this Color restoration process actually involves an exact digital recoloring by reading the individual dots that make up the broadcast video transmission! If true, this would be a phenomenal innovation!
Of course, being able to locate the original 2 inch master, or even a solid copy of the version of 33 AND 1/3 REVOLUTIONS PER MONKEE that's included on the October 1995 Monkees Video Box Set (R3 2960), and marrying its sharp video with the best audio recording should also produce a fine result!
CHEERS!
