Just in case he never returns, or his transfer is poop, as I type this I am copying my VHS copy of the unedited version to DVD right now.
It was sourced from an original Betamax recording, so it's slightly better than second gen VHS... but it does show it's age, there are a few dropouts and mistrackings here and there.
Still, the film is totally watchable and I'll do what I can with cleanup filters.
If our seeder never returns, we DO have a backup plan for this film!
