GODZILLA SOUNDTRACK PERFECT COLLECTION BOX 6

The Final Box Set in the Series is Released Author: John “Dutch” DeSentis Source: Toho Music Store Official Website: Toho Music

Back in 2004, during Godzilla’s 50th Anniversary, Toho Music Announced they would be reissuing all the Godzilla soundtracks remastered in a series of box sets, each limited to 1,954 pressings of each (to commemorate the year of the original Godzilla). What fans didn’t know was just how long it would take for them to be released. The first set went on sale September 20th, 2004 and was highly regarded for its improved sonics, especially on the 1954 disc. Box 2 came a short few months later in December, during the release of GODZILLA FINAL WARS. Box 3 followed in April of 2005, around the same time as the release of the GODZILLA FINAL BOX which contained all 28 movies on DVD. What followed then was a wait of nearly a year and a half as the fourth box didn’t hit the streets until October, 2006 and it took only slightly less time for the fifth box to come out in January, 2008. Fan speculation ran high as to whether or not the final set would ever be released at all. But after a wait of over two years (the longest stretch between two sets), Box 6 was finally released in Japan on March 25th, and the collection is now complete. Of particular note in this Box is the fact that GODZILLA FINAL WARS has been expanded across three CDs. This encompasses all of the rejected score that Keith Emerson composed as well as the complete compositions by Daisuke Yano and Nobuhiko Morino. Also of note is that David Arnold’s complete score to TriStar’s GODZILLA (1998) is included as the bonus discs. This is the first time a box set has featured a score as a bonus and not a previously issued LP or CD. This will contains the same tracks as La La Land Record’s limited 3000 pressing of the same soundtrack that they released a few years back. That, of course, is now out of print. Fans who missed that will certainly delight in having it available in this box set. The popular score for GODZILLA X MEGAGUIRUS by Michiru Oshima also contains expanded cues that were previously only available on the complete soundtrack that came with the Toho Region 2 DVD release of the movie. This version contains the newsreel music from the beginning of the film which was absent from that release. In addition, her incredible scores to GODZILLA X MECHAGODZILLA (featuring a grand performance by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra), GODZILLA X MOTHRA X MECHAGODZILLA: TOKYO S.O.S, and Kow Otani’s score to GODZILLA MOTHRA KING GHIDORAH: GIANT MONSTERS ALL OUT ATTACK are also given expansion treatment.
