Hi all,

Is there anyone out there interested in preserving the original theatrical audio from the 1979 film Love at First Bite, or perhaps knows of an existing preservation? From Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_at_First_Bite#Notes ):

For reasons never made quite clear by any of the producers or distributors of this film, the music in one pivotal scene was changed from the original theatrical song of “I Love the Nightlife (Disco Round)” as performed by Alicia Bridges to a cover of another disco-style song (“The Man That I Love”) [???] which causes the mood of the scene to be lost. Oddly enough, even though every release of the film (both VHS and DVD) since 1979 contains the edited music in this scene, the credits were never changed to remove reference to the Alicia Bridges song and give proper acknowledgment for the song that was used.

I have access to the theatrical audio on cassette from when the movie was originally shown in '79 and am willing to make a transfer for whoever is interested-- preferably somebody willing to clean it up some and sync it to the video, as the cassettes themselves are over 30 years old and I have minimal experience doing such a thing. Anybody want to take a stab at this?
