Hi Guys- Yes..once again its another shameless plug! I need to do this to fuel my addiction. You know what I mean. I have up for auction my Feature Length print of Grease. This is the Marketing Films version and the details are here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6321609865&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT I am selling it because I have upgraded to the NEW Derann Scope Print! It will be my first NEW print and it was only possible because Derann gave me a credit on my Copy of Rocky that arrived with unsynced sound! I love that company! Great customer service. Anyways..I digress! The copy is good. The picture has faded a little but not too much. There is still much color in the print and the sound is very nice! Full, rich..like a nice Merlot!

This is the full version. As far as I know didn't Marketing Films make only 2 versions? The 3 x 400 and the full length one.
I hope the brand new print Alan has bought in England has a faultless sound stripe. I did get 4 prints of GREASE from England and all had a bad sound stripe. I had to send all prints back and ended up without GREASE on super8mm.
I would gladly order some new super8mm full feature prints in the future but it is really hard to get a faultless new print nowadays. Mostly the sound stripe is very poor. Thus I am always looking for old KODAK pre-striped prints, which do not have these troubles.

Once I receive it I will post here. I know what you mean in a sense. My first print of "Battle of Carthage" Gladiator film had wow and flutter on the balance stripe. i played the other one just yesterday and I think this one is the same. But i'll have to listen to it again to double check.

Hi, Alan, I just read the description again and you stated plainly "1 hour and 50 minutes". Sorry, guess I was on my first cup of coffee.
