There's a cult website that has a comparison b/w the new Barrel and the Belgian MALPERTUIS discs...The 'reviewer' gives the Barrel one a better review, despite it's image quality being too contrast boosted and OBVIOUS combing in the screen grab!!

Dodgy, VERY dodgy...!

Mondo Digital also gives the upper hand to the new Barrel release:

Is the commentary new or is it ported over from the previous disc?

I know Kummel has disowned the Cannes' cut but it contains Hampshire's real voice on the English version.

Is the Cannes cut a new transfer or the same as on the R2 disc?

The screengrab previously cited as exhibiting combing artifacts (and it did) has been quietly replaced.
