OVERALL: Draw
R0 US release by Anchor Bay has the Audio Commentary and English DD 5.1 track (no original Mono), but it's Non-Anamorphic. Do note, that the 5.1-remix is not the proper 5.1-mix, so 2.0 surround -track is actually a better choice.
R2 UK , Spanish & German -releases are Anamorphic (Spanish has original Mono track) and the German -release also include a nice booklet (in German only), but they're both also missing the Audio Commentary. German release is missing the "The World of Hammer" episode also.
The R2 UK Vintage Classics release is anamorphic and has many extras but the extras are only on the Blu-ray disc. -
