    Very well preserved, but not well documented! So many mysteries around this release!! Who are the voice actors? Who are the Newsboys?! (Presumably not the contemporary Christian music band of the same name that has been around for decades) Who is Gomi?!
    Also, I didn’t know how to pronounce Herb Trimpe. I always just pronounced it in my head as Trimp.
    Anywho, I’m glad to see this release getting some attention! I think I’ve seen some fan art here and there (maybe Matt Frank did his version of Amphibion?), but I don’t see this release getting much coverage despite its resilience. If only some of the old Godzilla manga (like Godzilla 79) had this kind of rerelease schedule…

    You know, I hear that the next rerelease of this album will be beaming it directly into people's brains. We never have to fear this album being lost. It will survive the heat death of the universe via some format we can't even imagine. And I want to sneak those Gomi remixes into a club. Get the DJ to play it.

    Probably the voice actors who played the aliens got no voice credit is because maybe they didn't want any! They reminded me of good old Johnathan Winters making a funny sketch. I suppose it could have been worse; they could have sounded like Marven the Martian.

      You have point. Invasion of Astro Monster, Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla Vs. Gigan, Godzilla Vs. MechaGodzilla/Terror of MechaGodzilla, Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah, Godzilla Final Wars etc have aliens who use monsters from outer space like Ghidorah or Gigan and even create their own monsters like MechaGodzilla to conquer or destroy the Earth.

      While that statement is true and extreme bearucratical oversight by NASA it's not as bad as it sounds. The "lost" Apollo 11 tapes were the masters that contained telemetry data, which isn't very useful once the mission was complete, and the original video signal which had to be converted before it was even viewable. Many copies of the conversions exist and in recent years better sources of the video feed have been found that are probably pretty close to the masters.

    MIB, from one of your earlier videos you forgot this amount of detail of Godzilla: The Series!
    Numerous monsters were conceptualized for Godzilla: The Series, but did not end up appearing in an episode. Most of them were named after monsters from Toho's Godzilla films, such as Anguirus, Biollante, Gabara, and the organic and robotic versions of Moguera. And there was the Concept art of Flying Gigan, Gus the Spider, Manda the Worm, and Megalon from Godzilla: The Series
    Would you like to talk about this detail on a future video?
