Since someone else brought this thread to the front I can ask about this little thing without too much guilt…
I fully agree that the Corman dub is almost all an abomination. However, I — and I know I’m not the only one — prefer the hauntingly melancholic “Taking off” (song) in the Corman version over what is to me the upbeat-almost-goofy original Japanese and newer English versions of the song. (99.9% of the time I way prefer original language+E subs for anything.)
Does anyone have a good copy of this track (that’s better than the ones on YT)? The song is all I’m interested in.
I strongly suspect this is one of those things where the masters were thrown away decades ago and the 40-year-old Corman VHSs are the highest quality one will find, but I don’t know for sure, am not well researched in this, so seeing if anyone here…
Thanks for listening/reading.
