Additional Notes:
The film was initially released in the U.S. as "The Legend of the Dinosaurs", but it's now widely known as "Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds", which is nearly identical to the original Japanese title, "Legend of Dinosaurs · Monster Birds" (can also be translated as "Legend of Dinosaurs · Ominous Birds").
The score was recorded on March 27, 1977 at Sound City, located at Azabudai, Minato-ku, Tokyo.
The songs for the film ("Legend of Distant Blood" and "Final Chapter") were recorded at Taihei Studio and mixed for the film at Sound City on March 20, 1977.
While no cue numbers are given for track 3, the booklet states that it's the equivalent of M3 and M4.
The country songs heard in the film, performed by The Last Longhorn Band, couldn't be located. Therefore, they weren't included on the album. Additionally, a synth cue heard during the light phenomena scene (just before the Rhamphorhynchus attack scene) couldn't be included on the album for the same reason.
"Legend of Distant Blood" and "Final Chapter"
Composition and Arrangement: Masao Yagi
Lyrics: Keisuke Yamakawa
Vocal: Eiichi Miyanaga
Performance: Bourbon Technical Band
"Lake Sai Lullaby"
Composition: Toshio Nakamoto
Lyrics: Junji Kurata
