This
disc is a very large assortment of numerous LPs released
by Toho Records to promote a lot of the later day
Showa Godzilla films. VAP's presentation style on
this particular release is commendable, as the CD
itself is printed to look like a traditional record
while the booklet contains the front covers to the
previous LP releases along with sheet music for some
of the themes and some older drawings of the kaiju
(oddly enough, Gamera is present). In terms of the
CD itself, the disc starts off with Akira
Ifukube's classic "Godzilla's Resurrection"
theme from King
Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) before moving into
the songs. The first one up, "Monster Christmas",
is fairly well known for its Christmas tune set to
a duranguense (a type of music that originated in
Mexico) style beat. If a traditional Christmas song
done to trumpets, maracas and sung in Japanese seems
way over the top, well that's because it is and there
is an undeniable cheesy allure to the whole track.
In fact, a lot of the other tracks fall into this
area as well, including "The Bride of Godzilla"
and "Rock Rock Godzilla". Suffice to say,
this stuff is certainly not for everyone, although
if one enjoys the "Godzilla and Jet Jaguar Punch-Punch-Punch"
from Godzilla
vs. Megalon (1973) then they should enjoy
this release as a majority of the music is done by
the same singer, Masato Shimon.
