I really wish these distribution companies would give some notes on the different audio tracks. Like a little bonus features explaining what you do and don't get with each track. Maybe even some settings for a sound system. It doesn't seem like that would be a big ask.

The audio on the workprint version is also altered and censored. I've owned a bootleg copy of the workprint on DVD and noticed when watching the one on the Blu Ray certain racial dialogue between Burt & Spider missing and the song when Trash does her striptease has also been removed from the original bootleg versions of the movie on VHS and DVD. So it's still worth it to track down one of these bootlegs.

@@eddylex4921 The workprint would have NEVER had any of the original music added to it....The music wouldn't have been finalized until the film released....Anyone who says they have a bootleg of the workprint, also already has altered music from another source.

And its not censored...People really need to stop throwing around the word censored williy nilly.....Censored would mean that someone somewhere prevented something from being released, not something being changed due to licensing or because the audio wasn't finalized at that time.

@@lutherheggs451 That SAME work print that the studio decided to finally release officially on a Blu-ray/4k. Has moved around the comic convention scene for years as a tape and then on a DVDr. This original bootleg version had the song "Nasty Girl" during trash's nude dance. Obviously when shout factory got a hold of the workprint and decided to release it they didn't want to pay rights for the song and over dubbed it. All none studio released versions of this workprint have the original song as was heard on the set. I think I made this clear and am not sure what you're talking about?

I have the original MGM release of the blu-ray and the only thing that was changed about it, is the music in the scene was turned down per Dan O'Bannon who specifically said that he hated the way the music was way too loud in the original release, VHS release and DVD release. Never bothered with the 2016 Scream Factory release wasn't worth it to me, since it was made from a 2k scan of the interpositive rather than the original negative...Thank god they used the original negative for the 4k release, its the best the film has ever looked.

I keep hoping that one day some company does a new release with a good transfer and the proper color timing.

Saw NOTLD (original) and ROTLD Part II, but somehow missed this one.

Not really. Some musicians could literally just be pricks, OR they could think that because a movie has a massively popular cult following that their song is suddenly worth 100x what they're being offered. Return of the Living Dead Part 2 never made sense because they even changed songs that were specifically written for the film like The Dead Return by Peter Robinson and replaced with that god awful hot garbage casio keyboard thing...The original audio was also in the french track....The only thing I can think with the original DVD release of Part 2 is they just didn't think anyone would care and didn't want to spend alot of money on a movie that nobody cared about.

Wasn’t the mix changed by Obannon for the dvd ? In the interview he says that he wanted the scream from Frank to standout so he mixed the song way down. He also deepened the zombie vocals on Tarman and the send more zombies. The U.K. blu ray has all the songs and original audio options.

I know in the original 2010 MGM release he says in the commentary that he specifically had Burn the Flame lowered when it was being mixed because he hated how loud the music was in that scene. That he wanted it as more of a lowered background track......Which I suppose that blu-ray may have recycled the commentary track from the dvd. But I heard know I have heard him say that he hated how loud the song is and change was what he had always wanted. I actually kinda wonder if there is an audio glitch with that specific mix the 4k release, because I noticed the issue and it does seem to weirdly cut off which to me kinda screams audio glitch

The problem with all these issues and the confusion .The issues with the songs confusion is why the setup is creating more confusion because they probably didn't even think of all being compiled on the disc Most of these companies use 3rd party vendors and really don't explaining anything to them when producing the 4k set up.The Vendors are only their to create and ship the product.By the time it gets to them its a done deal. Their is no hands on as with the details.Do it and forget about it.Its not your problem. The Heavy Metal Movie extensive music rights went on for decades before they released it on tape and cd at the time . Money rules copyright laws.Good Video
