"Yojimbo" was among those productions mixed in Perspecta, so some prints may contain the original Perspecta encoding embedded in its optical mono track.

Unverified...there may also be some recently-struck prints with a Dolby Digital track with only the front three channels encoded with audio content in an attempt to recreate/preserve the original Perspecta playback. (The Criterion DVD version is presented this in this fashion.)
