From what I've read on the Gradius Homeworld forums, the misprinted soundtrack actually contains different music, and not misnamed tracks.

DEAR BLUE caught my attention, of any of them. And it also looks like FLY HIGH made it through to the final disc, as well.
The problem is, it's hard to find anybody with the original print who'd be willing to share the unused music. From the looks of it, the guys at Gamestone might not release them, and anyone else who'd have it would probably be Japanese, so making the comparisons for the unused songs, such as the ending, sounds like it'd be pretty hard without any connections. I really want to hear DEAR BLUE, though, just for the sake of it.
The only other option would be looking online for an auction, though it'd probably have to be Japanese. Looking at some old 2ch type posts, it appears they knew the whole time something was wrong with the soundtrack, while westerners didn't catch it at first (or a least not very many). Therefore, a Japanese auction would probably list that it was the original discs and not the reprint (and then jack up the price since it's probably now a collector's item), while an English auction probably wouldn't tell you either way. I think I even found one that still lists ALL IS VANITY as DEAR BLUE on EBay, even though it probably is the former (and used) song. So it comes down to taking that chance, really.
