This is the re-release edition. The old set had the movie in non-anamorphic transfer only; all other specs are the same. The replaced first disc (which is identical to the single-disc release from Criterion) is encoded R1, whilst the second and third discs are the same as the previous 3-disc release, and are encoded R0 (thanks to Rewind user shrieker for confirmation). A way to tell the difference between the 2 sets is to look for a note on the Second Printing on the back of the 2006 re-release. -
