I think one was done for theatrical release and one for television. The television dub is the one I remember seeing on TV way back, and its voice casting is more natural and the performances better (in my opinion). This is what you'll find on the older VHS tapes. (The TV dub was done by Peter Fernandez's team, famous for Speed Racer and many others.) These VHS tapes are generally pan & scan and the transfers are darker and muddier but this is okay if you prefer to see it the way it was on TV in the 70's. A Tri-Star DVD was released a couple of years ago that offered a really clean widescreen transfer (crystal-clear, bright), and a choice of either the theatrical dub or the original Japanese language audio...both in stereo. Overall, the sound quality of the DVD is far superior to the VHS version, but the voice actors sound rather crazed at times. If you want to hear the music in digital stereo, though, this will do very well. They're both good! Check 'em out... "Joyous Songs and Wondrous Miracles." [ Edited by: procinema29 2007-04-17 20:18 ]
