Its... okay
For whats here, it seems to be relatively accurate to the original, with a few exceptions/notes: * Its missing any representation of the initial "glissando" (or whatever you want to call it) from the intro/start. * Its missing any reference to the ELO "backing vocals", although to be fair, some other places dont have that either (and those that do cant seem to agree on the lyrics either, lol). * It claims that "G" (1 sharp) is the "original published key", and is oddly coincidental that it happens to be the key I used when I first tried to play this in 1988 without any sheet music to go by. However, I recently managed to find actual original published sheet music for this (pink-ish tone color cover with ONJ as Kira on the cover), and its in the key of F# (*6* sharps). Playing along with the actual soundtrack and/or the movie, that *IS* the actual key. Hard to believe that back in 1980 they wouldve pitch-shifted an entire track by ELO and ONJ *after* recording it (and then wouldve needed to re-sync the film to it). Also managed to find a separate source online thats *also* in the key of F#. Disappointed that both a) this isnt listed that way, and b) you cant even select F# as an alternative. Theres another arrangement available here that *is* in the key of F#, but it isnt the same arrangement, so that one isnt helpful for what Im trying to work on.
