I think its a shame that we can't just get a letterboxed print of the Titra dub. I hear there's some weird rights entanglements involving the "Save the Earth" song.

Did anyone here actually see Smog Monster at the grindhouse or drive-in in the early 70s on the infamous double bill with Frogs? That must have been one eco-horror ridden night to remember with some vivid nightmares to be had afterward.

I used to be in contact with Guy Hemric's heir, but didn't know Hemric was associated with SMOG MONSTER at the time. Hemric wrote a number of songs with Jerry Styner in various Annette & Frankie Beach Party movies. Hemric's contribution is published by Sony Music Publishing, so if Sony hadn't granted videogram rights to the original music agreement pertaining to Hemric, then new negotiations would be needed with Sony Music if you wanted to release that film (with the song in it) onto DVD. And Sony could try to charge anything they wanted, so much so that it wouldn't be feasible to include the song in the picture. This is all speculation, mind you -- I'm just using these specific examples to provide a legal framework that shows how music rights might apply to this song/film or one like it. Sony's publishing company is also credited with being the publisher of Manabe's music, at least here in the United States. My guess is they're administrating the rights on behalf of Toho Music, since I don't believe Toho has a U. S. publishing company, although I could be wrong here.
