Interesting you should say that about the soundtrack, a few years ago I picked up a second hand mono print and to be honest the mono print sounded better than the stereo one I bought new from Derann, much clearer. I think its laminated stripe as well on the early prints, not sure haven't looked at it. Its certainly sounds better, however I am happy with both, an ideal film for this time of year.

If you read my last contribution on this topic, you will know that I had a problem not having a 1600' take up spool to use for the first half of a feature film. Luckily, I found the splice at 600', ran that off onto another spool and so tonight my show was......
West Side Story - The complete feature (for the first time) on 1x 600' 1x1600' (holding 1000') and 1x (extremely full) 1000' in glorious cinemascope and stereo.
The warm up film was the trailer to The Spy Who Loved Me. Also in scope, but was bought as a Derann white box special. Has a blue tint throughout. Doesn't spoil the action, though !!

My son is home from College, so he requested a favorite from when he was a little kid: The Titfield Thunderbolt (Derann, 4x400')
(When he was maybe kindergarten-age, I used to run Reel 2 all by itself because he loved the battle between the locomotive and the steamroller, but he's a sophisticated adult now and wanted the other three reels too!)
I needed something compatible as an opener: The Engine Driver (1x200')
British Steam was alive and well on Long Island tonight!
