Kino is fabulous, have recently added a bunch of their releases to my collection. They've been tackling a lot of old films owned by MGM/Fox. You will definitely be pleased with the releases, great company.

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Inspe ... 55/#Review

Bad news; Napoleon Blown-Aparte and Ape Suzette still have laugh tracks. The good news; Sicque! Sicque! Sicque! and Bomb Voyage are now laugh track free!

UPDATE 4/4: Turns out the reviewer made a mistake. Sicque! Sicque! Sicque! and Bomb Voyage still have laugh tracks.
