To be fair, there are some Discovision disks where the aluminum *has* developed holes and is therefore utterly unplayable. Sometimes this happened on a smaller scale because someone at the plant marked a good side with a sharpie. This, Fun&Games, and the History Disquiz were all reissued by Voyager in 1990, w/solid Pioneer USA pressings. (One can safely assume Discovision made every then-possible LD mistake at least once.  )

The only thing we never got after Discovision days was The Electric Horseman with the original soundtrack. |

Did a quick search, some of the songs were changed. Alternate Versions The film's original soundtrack has been changed in different ways for its two DVD releases: The Image DVD replaces Dave Grusin's beautiful "Freedom Epilogue" score music (where the horse is set free) with a reprise of "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" by Willie Nelson, originally heard during the opening credits. This actually works well, though one wonders why a piece of original score had to be changed. The newer Universal release goes a step further, removing "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" from the opening credits (and in fact from the film completely) as well as "Freedom Epilogue" and replaces them both with a very inappropriate generic harmonica-driven instrumental which is meant to sound like a Willie Nelson song. |

Oh lord. That sounds terrible and stupid. I have the movie and the OST and I don’t know what version anything is off the top of my head but Willie is for sure all over it. He’s even inset on the cover with his greasy hippie mug next to the two most beautiful people who have ever lived which I have to say is really weird. |

Changing soundtracks in films often happens & pretty sure like many others I don't like it when it is done, sometimes for licensing reasons but other times there is no apparent reason. For a while THE THING (1982) had its soundtrack changed but think it is sorted now..... "In the theatrical version the cook is listening to Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". Because Universal did not secure rights for the home video release, the song was replaced. However, for more recent releases, Universal was able to use "Superstition" because they relicensed the song." Lots of others have sadly been interfered with. . |

One instance of music being replaced that I've actually seen (or heard, rather) was in Police Squad! where they replaced some of the songs due to licensing issues. There was an episode where they replaced Happy Birthday, I forget what they replaced it with, but another had a whole plot point involving tuba music and the music they replaced it with didn't involve tubas at all! Part of me suspects that was deliberate, to make it into a joke. |

Only Fools and Horses suffers a similar issue. I've seen episodes with music changes due to rights not secured, some versions go so far as to cut the scenes out or play the scene with no music. I remember seeing an episode where Del and Rodney go to a nightclub and the people in the background were dancing to nothing! Then there is the other stuff cut out too for differing reasons that wouldn't go down so well today. The list of cuts is extensive and I think the only way to get them is on a VHS series that was published by a magazine or something? I don't think the series ever made it to LD. Being a BBC series, if it did it would probably be a rotten PDO disc anyway. |
