I remember that in the 1963 anime, the English dub used a different background music than the original Japanese soundtrack during Astro's awaking, they used Beethoven's 5th symphony in the English dub.
The 1980 English dub used "Les Preludes" by Franz Liszt, which I think was actually more appropriate. Liszt's work is less bombastic, and has a more heroic feel to it.

Not worth watching it tbh, its very ammaturly edited, random scenes from the japanese cut are left in, the audio levels are inconsistent, not to mention the audio is poor aswell, a very Very poor restoration

Seemed similar to the DVD's I got of the English dub.
