- I was quite surprised to read the editorial in the latest Perfect Vision
- where they talk as if everything is rosy at the new Warner Brothers LD plant.
- I would really like to know why certain pressings played on my player have
- laser lock at the end of the sides (JFK, 3 sides, Tom Jones, 1 side). This
- phenomenon was mentioned recently by someone else in regard to Batman Returns
- and Excalibur. Seems rather odd that of out of 100 or so LD's I own, the only
- other ones which have a problem like this go well beyond 59 minutes and 30
- seconds. None of the sides mentioned above have this problem.
-
- I will agree with one thing in the latest PV, however, that Wolfen has a
- dynamite Dolby surround track...
