Bob Hope and Bing Crosby which one to buy?
Regardless of price.
Which one is the one to buy.
On the Road With Bob Hope and Bing Crosby Collection (Road to Singapore/Road to Zanzibar/Road to Morocco/Road to Utopia) (1941)
or
Bob Hope Tribute Collection - The Road Show Series (The Road to Morocco / The Road to Singapore / The Road to Utopia / The Road to Zanzibar)
Please advise. Thanks!

According to postings on various websites, the transfers are supposedly the same...I'm not sure about the extras.
You should be aware, however, that many members have had quality-control problems with the similar Monster Legacy and The Best of Abbott & Costello... sets (scratched discs, bad pressings, etc...), so if price and shelf space are not issues for you, then you'll be safer picking up the old Tribute Collection. [As price and space ARE issues for me, I'd buy the new disc...if I didn't already own the old editions...and exchange it as need be if I got a bad DVD(s).]
If you're a Wal-Mart shopper, check the $5.50 bin for Brentwood's 2-pak of Road to Rio/Road to Bali; the transfers aren't as good as the Universal pressings, but it's as good as these public domain titles are likely to see.
