| 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.
