Well, let me know the verdict when you get it:
The original '02 Sony Music versions (dub-only, fullscreen) were a step
down from the out-of-print WS Scimitar versions they'd replaced, so I
never bothered--
But, if we're getting at least a Japanese-restored Toho print on the
level of last spring's Sony widescreen dual-language "Son of" and
"Hedorah" cleanups, wouldn't mind upgrading *my* GvM and Revenge, either...
That's "IF", though. :/
