I would love to have a copy of the original VHS version, that is the format I first saw it in and love it...I know when HBO (I think) sold the rights the format changed..VHS version is the best!

Amazon has them. Get the one with the cast riding in the car on the front cover - that's the VHS version with all the original music intact.

I was so lucky to find an original HBO video copy of this movie with the original music. I got it at a thrift store for $1!

What's the difference in the versions?

The soundtrack. I just saw this on the MGM movie channel (in Canada), it had all the original songs from the VHS version but was definitely digital, there must be a new VOD cut with the original music.

Actually the HBO version is the original version with the better music. The songs changed in some scenes when the movie came out on VHS but then when it came out on DVD the original tunes were put back in... So the dvd is better to get than the videotape if you want the original music.
