I've made an LDrip though I had cut it to the exact ratio of the letterboxing as to remove the black otherwise, but here you go!
Here's shots from the Japanese LD...
I'm still puzzled why the English dub on the Lumivision disc is so low-fi and mono. The movie posters for Lensman's limited U.S. release clearly have a Dolby Stereo credit on them.

I know how you feel. I can only assume there was a mess-up in the telecining that gave us the copy used on those VHS editions that sounded terribly monophonic, hissy, and for some reason, too much blue intensity in the picture. My LD oddly seems to have a stereo soundtrack on it for the English track though, I can't explain it, but perhaps they went back and fixed it at some point, but I'm telling the truth!
Wait, I can prove it!

(not too perfect, it it's a last-minute deal)
I also have a few other things like the Japanese souvenir booklet from the film's release and the original Japanese theatrical poster.
