Inquiring if anyone wants to let go of any Paramount optical prints. Was 'Grease' available in optical?

Don't have any to let go of. As for "Grease", though it would be nice to watch an optical print of it, with it being available in scope magnetic stereo on super 8, you would probably be better off buying a scope stereo feature of it.

I haven't seen too many Paramount optical sound features out there. I'd have to look through all of mine. I only know one or two that I know for sure is a Paramount release, and those are "Children of a Lesser God" and, I believe, "Ghostbusters."

I do know Derrann has Grease in Scope/Mag... thought it was mono, though. Plus, that print is around $600 US. Ouch! The chills are multiplying!

If anyone has a used one, let me know.

Mark, your right, "Ghostbusters" was a columbia release. I hadn't looked at it specifically when I mentioned it the other day.

I wouldn't know about "Footloose", I didn't find it appealing enough to add to my collection.
