"Troma has released AFRICA SCREAMS/JACK AND THE BEANSTALK.
Both films have been restored by The Roan Group and these are the best versions available currently on DVD."
Oh boy, that REALLY annoys me. Roan had nothing to do with those video transfers. I found the original 35mm materials and produced those laser disc editions for Image Entertainment in the early 90's. The only thing Roan/Troma did was copy my transfers off the laser.
There's nothing I can do about it, because the films are public domain. But I spent a great deal of time and expense to locate those 35mm elements, and I wish they would give credit where it's due.

P.S. - They did the same thing with my 35mm transfers of THE DEVIL BAT and SCARED TO DEATH, originally released on laser by Lumivision.
