Early 78 would see George start up ESB work, the main SW crew would be working other jobs. Don't think you'd need many people to create the credits, so it'd definitely a possibility but i'd lean towards too late. One aspect going against this later 78 idea is the swedish 16mm print has the revised credits, Sweden's premiere was 1977.12.16. The frankenprint concept doesn't help nail anything down.

Edlund e-mails out, msycamore suggested Dan Perri: http://www.danperri.com/ so that's next.

MVerta talked to Perri at one point:
