• The stereo track of Perfect Blue that was first used in the original 1998 LD/DVD/VHS release and later in other domestic and international releases. Somehow this track was never included with any of the Blu-ray releases, which only have the 1998 LD/DVD 5.1 remix and in some cases also the original theatrical mono track from a low quality source (think Dragon Box quality).
  
  While the stereo and 5.1 tracks both improve the soundstage, the 5.1 track adds and replaces sound effects. In that regard the stereo track stays faithful to the original mono without suffering from low sound quality. Not saying that the 5.1 track is bad by the way.

  I hesitated to share the track because I sourced it from a DVD9 to DVD5 conversion of the original 1998 R2J DVD, but the audio sounds good and is perhaps untouched judging by the bitrate. I've edited the 384kbps AC3 track without transcoding... Except for the Madhouse intro jingle at the start which I sourced from the original UK BD 256kbps AC3 mono and transcoded to 384kbps.
  
  This track is intended for use with the original UK BD (*not* the bad "remastered" 2019 BD) with a +7ms delay. Dunno about other BD releases, but to help with that: [this frame appears in [00_00_19.561].](https://i.imgur.com/GCCMpg8.png) Just calculate the time difference in ms and add +7ms.
  
  Would be nice if someone could rip and share the LD PCM track.
