*On the <u>Arrow Video Blu-ray release of ''Pulp'' (1972)</u>, the standard 1968 version is accompanied with the 1994 fanfare from the 12th logo. This oddity was due to a sloppy reverse plaster job that likely resulted from Arrow reusing the audio source from MGM's previous SD master (being the MGM DVD releases had the 1994 logo) with the new 2K scan featuring this logo intact (as well as the vintage BBFC card).

*On the <u>2021 Kino Lorber Blu-ray release of ''Bring me the Head of Alfredo Garcia''</u> (second pressing only, which uses Arrow's 2017 4k remaster), this logo uses the 2000 music from the 13th and 14th logos due to a sloppy reverse plaster (Arrow's 2017 UK Blu-ray release is silent as it should be). Oddly enough, the first pressing of the 2021 Kino Lorber Blu-ray releases uses the older MGM HD master with the 2001 MGM URL variant and the 14th UA logo.
