Pardon if this has been discussed before...
I don't understand why the MGM musicals are being processed without utilizing the multi-track musical recordings...
If WB has access to these tracks, why not make use of them (besides the element of cost involved) for the "greater good" of these unique films?
An excellent example of the laser disc days was the boxed set of MGM Composers Series in which "Deep In My Heart" had the tracks in question used to great effect. The orchestra, the orchestrations, and...oh, those performances...were so much more alive and clear.
It would be a shame if these tracks languished and (hopefully not) faded away.
...just an opinion...
