Hey, if anyone owns the 400ft digest version of this ABC Films super 8 release ...

Is the whole song "For All we Know' in this 400ft digest? i used to have the ABC Films abridged feature version of this (5X400ft, more like 4X400ft actually), but I have never seen the cut of this 1X400ft digest ...

So, is the full song in this digest?

Hi Osi,
I viewed my 400' digest copy today and to answer your question, the song "For All We Know" runs 1:23 in the digest and concludes at the end of the vocals. The DVD version of the song runs 1:54 and includes some instrumental material at the end of the vocals. So none of the words are missing in the 400' print, just some instrumental music.
My copy is exceptionally sharp and the color is vibrant. This is not the case with all of the Ken/ABC Films releases.
I hope this info helps.

Yes it does, very much so! I sounds as if for the 1X400ft digest, they used a different film stock as you are correct about the 5X400ft mini-feature of the full film was on kodak SP and has, of course, faded.
