Yes, but the fact that Toho *has* finally gotten some of their own out
onto R2 over there seems to have "ended the war" and freed up some of
the import trade agreements, at least on the major half of the titles
that Sony actually has the rights to--
Judging from the fact that we could finally get DUAL-language vintage
restored "Hedorah", "Ebirah" (and no, not "Smog Monster" and "Sea
Monster", either) and "Son of" R1's from Sony last spring...
- WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO -
our original question, ie. whether this new studio leniency affected
hurdles with that earlier box, and Sony Music's new November releases
are any more interesting than they were three years ago...
Does *ANYBODY* know, before I plunk down the $59.99 two weeks from now?
