Excellent! I hadn't bothered to check if these were up yet, so thanks to the OP. Preordered Pandora's Box, Fallen Idol, and added the two November Godzilla titles as well to qualify for the $5-off coupon.

It's worth noting that the British film industry's sound recording technology generally lagged behind that of Hollywood's, particularly in the 30s and 40s. So although the "abysmal" quality of FALLEN IDOL's audio may be due to something else, it wouldn't surprise me if it was weak and tinny in the same way that the sound for DEAD OF NIGHT, MAN IN THE WHITE SUIT, KID FOR TWO FARTHINGS, LADY VANISHES, etc. tends to be.
