  According to liner notes of Asahi Sonorama Shudaika Collection 1 [TOCT-25071~2]
  there has been a lot of discussion about which company''s sound source is the official
  version. It is almost asserted that the mono "Wow version" included in the same
  board is a regular version.

  *Intro has 12 beats, 2 chorus formation, 2nd entry is "Wow Wow Owao", "Bobanbabanbon"
  has no ambition, it include a percussion in the play. It''s same of 2nd ending (from
  15th episode) without a howling.

  TV opening uses lot of SE (sounds, gunshots, river flows, squeals, cymbals as accent
  sounds for titles and jumps and 2nd chorus with Ken screaming has a long delay.

  TV 1st ending has 1st chorus without delay; video credits to Victor Shounen Gasshoudan/ビクター少年合唱隊
  with performance by Ensemble Vivo/アンサンブル・ビボ. It has been speculated that Victor
  Shounen Gasshoudan credit it''s wrong and it''s the same as Nishirokugo Shounen
  Gasshoudan
