1) What "audio fuck ups" are you referring to?

B) Isn't the Blu-Ray version just the 20th Anniversary version in HiDef?

On the 20th Anniversary DVD the scene where Jerome says to Prince: So Sexy!

You can hear Jerome partially say it before he was supposed to.

Also if I can remember correctly the scene when Prince comes home and his Father has the gun. The eerie music is missing.

This was all corrected in the Blu-Ray release.

cool

Also the dvd version's "Purple Rain"(song) performance scene is grainy. Do you know if this got fixed on Blu-ray?

Just checked and everything you say here is 100% correct. I never noticed that.

How does something like this happen? It seems like a strange couple of mistakes without an obvious reason.

You've got some good ears and a good memory for noticing this!!

The blu looks great to me. That said, the DVD doesn't look grainy to me. The smoke and the lights don't really translate well in the DVD encode, but the grain looks fine.

Grain is not a bad thing though, it looks more like the original film when grain is left intact. When they instead scrub all the grain away with DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) it leaves a waxy look, kind of like everything has vaseline spread on it. See the Blu-ray of Predator for an example.
