Good IP for D+ but “this is the first time the film is available in over 50 years” is typical Disney bluster. Took 5 seconds of Google searching to find an HD copy streaming for free.

This is the Peter Jackson fully restored version, this is similar to the Get Back restore that was released in 2021 on D+.

You sure the one you found wasn't just an upscaled HD version from the original print?

Yeah, I'm not sure exactly when it was released, but it was available on VHS during the 80s. It wasn't a particularly good film-to-video transfer, I distinctly remember the colors being rather dark and faded, and an overall grainy look (particularly compared to cleaned-up version of Help! that they re-released a few years later). If our neighborhood video store had a copy, it couldn't have been a rare limited release.
