Please Do A Disc Replacement on the Porky Pig 101

Although I'm happy WB released this DVD, I do have a problem with this set. And it's mainly on the incorrect opening and closing themes to some of the cartoons (and on one cartoon that has a few splices):

[1]Both "Fish Tales" and "Westward Whoa" incorrectly use the the 1939-1940 variant of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down".
[2]"Porky's Ant", "Porky's Prize Pony", "Notes to You", "Robinson Crusoe Jr.", "Porky's Midnight Matinee", and "Porky's Cafe" incorrectly use the 1937 "Porky Signature" theme from "Porky's Railroad".
[3]"Porky the Wrestler" uses the wrong closing title.
[4]"Picador Porky" uses the wrong opening and closing themes.
[5]Both "Notes to You" and "Robinson Crusoe Jr." use the incorrect opening music cues.
[6]Some cartoons like "Porky’s Garden", "The Lone Stranger and Porky", "Chicken Jitters", "Naughty Neighbors", "Porky the Giant Killer" , "Calling Dr. Porky", and "Porky’s Hired Hand".) re-use the opening theme from "Porky's Tire Trouble" instead of using the original opening music cues.
[7]"Get Rich Quick Porky" incorrectly uses the opening theme from "Confusions of a Nutzy Spy", and uses the wrong closing theme on the closing titles.
[8]"Porky and Gabby" has 2 splices, the first being literally a jump splice from the credits to action, and the second near the end of the closing titles.
[9]"Confusions of a Nutzy Spy" incorrectly uses the 1936-1937 Looney Tunes closing title with the 1937-1938 ending theme playing over it, with Porky's signature line "T-t-t-that's all Folks!" being cut out.

This is a huge problem for those that are not comfortable with this issue. And I do think WB needs to fix this issue by correcting the presentations to these cartoons on the opening and closing themes, opening music cues, and using a non-spliced version of "Porky and Gabby".
