I want to buy a copy of the Disney's Little Mermaid. What is confusing are the various laserdisc versions produced:
Stereo Laserdisc (CLV) Stereo CAV Laserdisc Fully Restored (CAV) Fully Restored, Collector's Edition (CAV)
In your personal opinion (taking into account its price), which would be the best to purchase. I am interested in the best PQ.
In looking at the above 4 examples, I think that the Stereo CAV Laserdisc is my first choice with the Fully Restored version a close second.

Get CAV if you like to frame-by-frame, CLV if changing discs annoys you. Good info. It sounds like the early version have gone through some chemical processing on the film reel before scanned. Before the era of digital noise reduction, chemicals were used on the film to degrain. Early pressings are p&s too. On the later ones, the original aspect ratio is there at 1.66:1. DVD and Blurays crop that to 1.78:1. There is a Japanese release from 1992. Its lbx and stereo. I am curious about how this one now.

That's got be the highest price for a Disney LD? "The Sixth Day" is listed on the site for $5,700.00 I saw a youtuve video where it shows the differences in the titles being re-edited to appear at newer times rather than the original. The LD of this is it true to the release print. Its not been altered has it?

Alcohol was involved in this case, however.
