Acquired at the same time as the SFX of Godzilla showcased last week, these History of Godzilla cassettes feature excerpts from the soundtracks of the Showa-era films.
What's unique about these is that in addition to containing two key tracks from the soundtrack for each film featured, they also contain the soundtrack for the trailer for each film. Sadly, I only have Volumes 1 & 2 of the three volume set that make up the totality of the 15 Showa-era films.
Volume 1 Track Listing:
Excerpts of the soundtracks from the following movies:
A1 - Akira Ifukube - Gojira / Godzilla (1954)
A2 - Masaru Sato - Gojira no gyakushû / Godzilla Raids Again (1955)
A3 - Akira Ifukube - Kingu Kongu tai Gojira / King Kong Vs Godzilla (1962)
B1 - Akira Ifukube - Mosura tai Gojira / Mothra Vs Godzilla (1964)
B2 - Akira Ifukube - San daikaijû: Chikyû saidai no kessen / Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964)
Volume 2 Track Listing:
Excerpts of the soundtracks from the following movies:
A1 Great Monster War / Monster Zero (1965)
A2 Great Duel in the South Sea / Godzilla vs the Sea Monster (1966)
A3 Son of Godzilla (1967)
B1 All-out monster attack / Destroy All Monsters (1968)
B2 All Monsters Attack / Godzilla's Revenge (1969)
I'm afraid I didn't have any luck finding copies of these collections on YouTube!
Check back next week for another item from my Godzilla collection — and Happy Thanksgiving!
