What is included in Criterion’s edition?
The package combines the 4K UHD presentation with two Blu-rays and special features. The available product information identifies Dolby Vision HDR for the UHD disc; it does not establish a price comparison or confirm the current availability of other editions.
Is the Criterion Blu-ray region-free?
No. Criterion says its Blu-rays are Region A and its DVDs are Region 1. Its Blu-ray rights are limited to the United States and Canada. Buyers elsewhere should check both their player’s region compatibility and the edition’s availability in their territory. Criterion’s general FAQ explains its region and rights limits.

Is the official vinyl listing the film soundtrack?
Not on the evidence of the official listing: the Spinal Tap Store lists The End Continues on black vinyl, a sequel-era release. It should not be mistaken for documentation of the original film soundtrack. See the official store listing.
