General Allenby: "I believe your name will be a household word when you'll have to go to the War Museum to find who Allenby was. You're the most extraordinary man."

A very nice copy. I also have the same LD. I haven't watched it yet though.
I do have the CED copy and watched it some time in the past. What is funny is that the CED seems to lack a running time for the film. I could not find any mention of running time on either disc (the movie is on 2 separate CED's). Sometime, I will watch the LD to see how much better it is when compared to the CED copy.

I am confused as to why you mention THX?
I think he has a THX crossover in his system
But I hate to be the one who brags, especially in the light of laserbite34. I was lucky to catch a screening of 'Lawrence' in Christie 4K / Linear PCM / Disney (Lucasfilm) THX Sound System at the AFI Silver #1. Although it's not as good as 70mm, it suited me well.
I have the Hi-Vision MUSE LaserDisc of Lawrence of Arabia and it has the reel change marks too - while not up to Blu-ray standards, its a beautiful transfer of the restoration with excellent MUSE encoding - it really gives the 'feel' of watching actual film. The 4-channel discrete audio sounds wonderful too although, like most films from that time, the surround track isn't used much - if you want more surrounds you need to switch to the PCM Dolby Stereo track, which should be the same as the Criterion edition since the 2-channel PCM tracks were encoded in the same way (and in the same spectrum) on both regular LaserDisc's and on MUSE discs.
