My LV disc copy of "The Wild Bunch" is fifteen minutes longer than the cassette version. and to clarify some other notes... ---------------------------------- Just because a cassette has been released in cassette HiFi does not mean that it is in stereo. The studios have decided to release mono- phonic soundtracks in HiFi simply to enhance the quality of the presentation. (Some people have claimed that certain movies have been released in stereo only on cassette, since it says "HiFi", and the disc says "Mono"). So please don't knock LV for such errors as time compression. It's the fault of the releasing companies who take the easy way. Stephen Y. Trutiak allegra! utcsri! alias! steve
