Stormbringer/Elric game

I am planning to run a game using either of these two rulesets for this Moorcock-inspired RPG from the 80s. I am looking for no more than three players.

I have a copy of the 5th Edition of Stormbringer which hasn’t seen service in quite a while. I love the characters and the mythology, especially of the “original” six novels. I would definitely be interested in taking part.

Have a lot of those books standing on the shelf and never played it once, thus I'd definitely be interested as well.

I love all the Elric novels, but haven't read the books or played the game in YEARS.
Lemme go see what Chaosium has up on DTRPG.  What edition would you be using?

I'd be interested. I've got the 1st edition of Stormbringer.

You know it!  I have to dust off my book to see what version it is.

I have the 1981 edition of Stormbringer which I think is the first one - it does not mention an earlier one. I also have the 1993 edition of Elric!, which was Chaosium's updating with new writers. I am not strongly for one or the other - part of me favours the original because it feels good to resurrect a game that's more than 35 years old; the other part suspects the latter version will be slicker.

I am open to opinions. The main thing is that if we are going to do this, we move quickly. My experience is that weeks setting up the initial setting with characters dims initial enthusiasm.

The other thing is: let me know if there are published scenarios you are already familiar with.
