    He posted the following:

    “Wonderwall” coming to DVD: Shout Factory has announced the 1968 film “Wonderwall” is to be released on Blu-ray on March 25, reports Blu-ray.com. The long out-of-print DVD will also be re-released separately. The movie features music by George Harrison and stars Jack MacGowran as the eccentric Prof. Oscar Collins and Jane Birken as Penny Lane (no kidding). The cast includes Anita Pallenberg, who was linked at various times to Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Brian Jones.

    That's good news but what about a remastered soundtrack? I've always liked the music from this movie and the cd has been out of print for some time. Surely now would be the time to upgrade it along with the movie. Oh but just a minute, this is Apple we're talking about ....

    I guess it's a question of if it'll sell or not. There hasn't been anything from the Harrison camp in a while, so who knows?

    Run, don't walk and pick up this Blu-Ray. This has been restored and it shows. A revelation.

    Apparently, it features two versions of the film: original & re-edited director's cut.

    Psychedelic pop voyerism staring Jane Birkin. The Fool are also involved.

    It's Suki Potier, not Anita Pallenberg...

    Finally got the blu-ray. Lots of bonus features, including footage of The Beatles.
    I bought a boxed set edition of this film several years ago, which included a DVD, CD-single, vinyl single and other items. I wonder how rare it is now?

    Blu Ray what's it like ?
    I have the DVD.
    Good soundtrack by George Harrison M.B.E. The 1968 film stars the delectable Jane Birkin.

    The film transfer on the Blu-ray is a mixed bag but I don't anticipate any better version ever coming out. The music is heard in completely lossless sound quality, which is nice.

    The DVD music soundtrack sounds muddy, print's good. What's the BD extras like ?

    A great booklet but rather spotty special features on the disc itself.
