The first in Toho Music's highly anticipated Godzilla Soundtrack Perfect Collection line, a series of six box sets containing the soundtracks to all 28 Toho produced Godzilla films complete with unreleased content and newly remastered for superior sound. Box 1 contains the scores for the first five Godzilla movies and an extra CD which is a reproduction of an earlier LP compilation. The stand out feature of this set, at least at the time of release, was the inclusion of the rare stereo score to King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), although the impact of this has been significantly hampered since it was later released by La-La Land Records (LLLCD-1041) in the United States.
Like a lot of Toho Music's releases, the overall design and layout of this set is very attractive and well done. Each disc comes in its own jewel case and includes a thick booklet printed on very nice stock paper, not at all the flimsy material one is used to for these. The discs all carry a similar style with a color scheme similar to that of a faded newspaper with a slight red tint, except the LP reissue. The covers themselves though are, oddly enough, the least attractive aspect of this release, as each contains just a close up head shot of the particular Godzilla suit seen in the movie. This gives the releases in general a fairly boring look when all placed together, and why they didn't just place the much more enticing back cover shots here instead, which are often action oriented moments or great sequences from the films, is beyond me. The booklets themselves, though, show Toho Music's excellent attention to detail, containing nice black and white production stills before ending with color shots of things like pamphlets and other promotional material for the films.
In terms of the remastering process, Toho Music has succeeded in making this music sound better then ever before, and for that they deserve some credit. Unfortunately, those expecting a vastly improved experience are probably going to be disappointed as one is literally going to have to play these tracks back-to-back with the older releases to really notice any difference in quality. To that point, it's suffice to say that if you own these earlier releases and are considering purchasing this set simply for the improved sound, don't bother. The difference in quality along is, in no way, worth the $125 or so price tag of this set. In fact, if one owns the earlier Toshiba discs covered by this set, just skip this first box and buy La-La Land Records' releases for both Godzilla (LLLCD-1022) and King Kong vs. Godzilla (LLLCD-1041). One won't be missing much at all in doing so, and it's infinitely cheaper considering each retails for $16. If one has never purchased a soundtrack to one of these films before, though, then this could be an excellent way to start one's collection, although its still a sizeable investment anyway one slices it.
It should be noted that these boxes are limited, with each being given a run of, reportedly, 1,954 units. Each is also given a unique number on the back in the form of a sticker placed above the copyright information. Expectedly, there is no need to rush though (assuming they are giving them out in order), as they have only hit about 700 exactly two years after the first was released. This shouldn't be surprising either given that the 2001 Toho SFX Champion Festival box set was also limited, yet is still widely available online today as these more expensive box sets just simply don't seem to move. It should also be mentioned that all of these sets are also sold exclusively online at Toho Music's site or Arksquare.net.

The landmark score to the first Godzilla film by composer Akira Ifukube. For those more familiar with the famed composer's work, this soundtrack certainly seems to stand out from his other scores as it contains a much more gothic and dreary style to it that fits the movie perfectly although feels like a stark departure from Ifukube's usually riveting and energetic work. In that respect, it's also not surprising that a lot of the stand out cues tend to be more atmospheric in nature, such as "Godzilla's Rampage" and the wonderfully done "Godzilla at the Ocean Floor". The "Main Title", which would eventually be reworked into Godzilla's own theme, does seem to maintain the composer's usual flair for military marches though, and is used to good effective throughout the score.
As far as new material goes, the bonus tracks on this release are kind of a bust. The first bonus track is the sound effects heard during the "Main Title" minus the actual music, while the other three are disappointingly just "radio drama" segments. Meaning it's just the audio captured straight off the film for three particular scenes, complete with music, sound effects and dialogue. Suffice to say, the "Film Version" extras found on the La-La Land Records release (LLLCD-1022) are much more interesting. Where this release does shine, though, is in the presentation of the score itself, which is the most definitive yet. This means that there are added cues to this particular release, such as "Chaos in Shinagawa" and "Intercept Godzilla". The other new cue is "Godzilla Appears on Odo Island", although this is just the roar and footsteps as they where used for Godzilla's first appearance in the movie and there is no actual music during this sequence. Unfortunately, that's about it in terms of new additions to the score. These tracks aren't much different then the others that were previously released either, with "Chaos in Shinagawa" literally being a bridge of two other cues. This disc does have the same clarity in its presentation like what was found on the La-La Land disc, so it's something else to tout over the older Toshiba release. This particular CD also preserves the "Tragic Sight of the Imperial Capital" track, which was altered on the La-Land release to remove the crying sounds by cropping the music at that point and merging it with a similar cue on the score. Although La-La Land does improve on its presentation of the "Prayer for Peace", as it removes the earlier dialogue in that scene, that is still found here, and starts the track more appropriately right when the chorus begins.

This soundtrack for the sequel to Godzilla (1954) sees a very green Masaru Sato take the reigns of the scoring process, marking his first ever score for a Toho production and his seventh soundtrack ever at this stage in his career. Unfortunately, Sato's inexperience is not hard to miss, as he delivers the least memorable score for the long running Godzilla series. To his credit, his version of "Godzilla's Theme" for this soundtrack is at least nicely done, as he crafts a very eerie and gothic sounding cue for the character. Sadly, this theme is also heavily used throughout the score, although it still holds up reasonably well despite this. The main title for this movie is oddly a much more upbeat track, and seems fairly out of place in context with the film and it's not surprising that the cue was removed entirely when they made the US version of the flick. A lot of the other themes are pretty low key, tending to sift into the background during the actual movie while they aren't engaging at all when heard as a stand alone experience.
As far as new material goes, this release has a generous amount of bonus content over the older Toshiba disc, which is also very welcome considering the brisk half hour runtime of that 1993 CD. Sadly, it also seems like Toho was really stretching to increase the runtime on this particular disc in anyway possible. This includes the very questionable addition of the track which documents some of the sources used before deciding on Anguirus' Roar (track 37). If people are wondering what this track sounds like, imagine someone being given a trumpet for the first time and hearing them awkwardly blow into it time and time again to generate fairly grating noises and very off key sounds. Now take that experience and stretch it across five minutes and one will have a pretty good idea as to what this track is like. It really is a test of endurance to simply last the first 30 seconds, let alone the entire duration. There really is no pay off to the track either, no moment of "ah ha, there is the Anguirus roar that we all know and love!" as it never quite reaches a pitch that matches the finalized roar. On the bright side, the contents of this disc has at least been shifted, compared with the earlier release, so that all of the unused tracks appear after the score itself. However, they also added in "The Broadcast of the Destruction" track too, which really has no place here considering it's an audio excerpt of that broadcast from the film, yet there is no music to accompany it. It's a dialogue only track, making it unclear why they felt the need to mix that in with Sato's themes. Thankfully, the disc does have a generous amount of outtakes, some of which have never been available before although all of them are only minor variations on what ended up being used in the movie. Another nice addition is that of the "Couple on the Lakeshore" track, which is the song and accompanying music heard during the club scene in the movie. Unfortunately, it seems there wasn't the best of sources around for this as a lot of the vocals sound fairly harsh while there is also some noticeable background "hiss" to it. Granted though, it's better than it not being included at all. As for the last two tracks on this disc, they are very early promotional vocal song, with compositions done by Tadashi Yoshida. Some might be familiar with these tracks as they appeared on Victor's 1984 LP "Godzilla Theme Song Collection Encyclopedia" (JBX-2039) before the company finally released them to CD in 1991 (VICL-5083); however, for most this will probably be their first experience with these fairly rare songs.

CD Number: G-003 (Set)
Another gem from composer Akira Ifukube comes this 1962 film which pits two of cinema's most popular monsters against one another. The score for this particular movie is probably best remembered for pioneering the Godzilla theme, crafting it from the army march heard in Godzilla (1954). Of course, there are a number of other noteworthy tunes here as well, including the excellent "Main Title" theme along with the "King Kong vs. Godzilla" and "The Devil of the South Seas" cues. The score is overall one of the better entries in Ifukube's long career, and is definitely diverse enough to keep the listener's interest from beginning to end time and time again.
As for this particular release, Toho really rolled out the red carpet for this score by giving it a two disc set that contains over two hours of music. Across these two discs listeners will find both the mono presentation and the original stereo score. Of course there are fans of both, particularly those who grew up with the mono presentation on video, but for me the added depth to the stereo tracks really blow away the single channel ones. Still, regardless of preference, this release really caters to fans of both presentations while also presenting a nice array of bonus tracks. This includes outtakes and alternate tempos for the chants on the mono disc, and then separate presentations of some of the stock cues from the film found on the stereo disc. Speaking of which, I really love Sei Ikeno's work, and this soundtrack takes two of its themes from one of his older scores: Use the Handcuffs (1959), which seems to be a popular stock choice as Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964) also lifted a cue from this film. The other stock theme is the song heard on the radio, "Southern Island Tale", which was originally composed by Hachiro Matsui for the film The Boss and the Explosive Daughter (1959). Suffice to say, this two disc set really blows the older Toshiba CD out of the water, but how does it fare compared to La-La Lands Records release (LLLCD-1041)? Well, in all honesty, in terms of audio quality I think the remastered La-La Land disc is the best the soundtrack has ever sounded, as it definitely adds even more depth to that stereo score. This disc also has some rather abrupt endings to a few of its cues on the stereo disc, such as "The Seahawk in Crisis", which the La-La Land CD avoids by merging the theme with the start of the next track. So, more avid collectors will of course go for this release for its incomparable amount of added content (although it's missing the main title as done by Bukimisha that is found on the La-La Land disc), but true audio aficionados will still likely prefer the US release of this score.

CD Number: G-004 (Set
Akira Ifukube's excellent score for the 1964 movie Mothra vs. Godzilla, and also my favorite soundtrack from this first box set. The score contains a lot of Ifukube's more classic cues, while also updating the Godzilla theme which, in terms of the Showa films, never sounded better; furthermore, it's not surprising that when the soundtrack for Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972) was being created it was this film's rendering of the theme that would get used. There are a lot of stand out themes on this particular score, though, as "Godzilla vs. the Tank Corps", "Infant Island" and "Sacred Springs" are some other outstanding selections from this disc. The soundtrack also benefits from going for a more diverse approach to its cues, avoiding Ifukube's habit of sometimes bogging a score down with repetition as was seen in the movie's sequel, Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964).
As for a comparison of this disc with the 1993 Toshiba release, not a great deal has changed in terms of the actual tracks, but there is still about 13 minutes of new material here. Of this new music, the two cues "Attack to the Dune" (this track title appears in English in the book with this exact wording) and "The Invulnerable Monster" will probably be the most interesting additions for most. The history behind these two is that they coincide with the beach raid against Godzilla using the Frontier Missiles, a scene that was filmed specifically for use in the US and other markets and never appeared in the Japanese cut. This disc also comes with some outtakes that were left off of the earlier disc, although they had previously made their way onto Toshiba's Dogora CD (TYCY-5503). The disc then ends with karaoke versions of the songs, along with a short track of just the isolated chants heard in the movie that were done by Emi and Yumi Ito.

The full soundtrack for Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster is another nice score from maestro Akira Ifukube. Granted, his work here is a step down from his amazing compositions for Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964), although it's still a much livelier body of work than his soundtrack for Dogora, which he also did in 1964. To that point, there are a number of stand out cues on this particular score, as Ifukube would introduce audiences to the very memorable theme for King Ghidorah while also crafting the ever popular Rodan theme. "The Kurobe Valley Theme" is also another excellent cue off this score, emitting a perfect sense of restrained majesty that just seems to fit with the image of the rolling hills perfectly, although this particular cue was removed from the US version of this film. On the downside, this score suffers drastically from a severe amount of repetition, as the Godzilla, Rodan and King Ghidorah themes seem to be cycled repeatedly throughout the soundtrack. In that regard, the music on this disc tends to lend itself better toward compilation style presentations as opposed to listening to the entire score from start to finish.
In terms of this disc versus the earlier Toshiba one, there are a couple of noticeable improvements in the presentation, beyond the enhanced sound that is present throughout the box set. This includes the tracks being reorganized to better reflect the order that they appear in the movie, including the correct placement of the "Call Happiness" songs. There is also about 14 minutes of additional music on this release, which is welcome given the disappointingly short runtime of the Toshiba CD. This also finally includes the theme used for the "What are They Doing Now?" show, which was actually a stock cue from composer Sei Ikeno that was taken from an earlier score for the movie Use the Handcuff (1959). I personally love this particular theme, even if it's incredibly short, although I also tend to have a weakness for "big band" type of music from this decade. Some of the other extras here include alternate takes to two of Ifukube's themes, which were also included on Toshiba's Dogora CD (TYCY-5503). The disc then rounds out its runtime with a wide range of variations on the "Call Happiness" song, although oddly enough no karaoke versions are included.

CD Number: GX-1 (Set)
Simply dubbed "Godzilla", this compilation is a reissue of an older 1978 LP of the same name. To Toho's credit, this is an incredibly faithful adaptation of the LP to the CD format, including a similar looking silver "foot band" around the CD and an insert inside the cover to match the one that was issued with the 1978 LP, although naturally it comes folded up here in order to fit in the case. The text on it has also been preserved and untouched, which is noteworthy as it makes mention of an "upcoming" Godzilla film that was to be co-produced by H.G. Benedict Productions (Henry Saperstein's "production company" name); which film in particular that was referring to is anyone's guess, as so many joint venture projects were aborted at that time.
In terms of the content on the disc itself, for a compilation this CD has a pretty good selection of some of the best themes from the Showa Godzilla series. To be brutally honest though, who really cares? The "Perfect Collections" aren't a cheap investment by any means, so it's definitely going to attract either diehard collectors or people who have never purchased the earlier releases and are now looking to get them all in one swoop. To that point, how is a compilation of songs found primarily in this box going to appeal to either group? This might have been useful back when CDs were new, but today with CD-Rs and iPods everywhere a company manufactured compilation just doesn't serve much good if one already owns the music. To add insult to injury, the music itself doesn't even sound as crisp as it does elsewhere in the set, really begging the listener to ask what's the point? This seems particularly puzzling too as this compilation has already been reissued before on CD, twice in fact. It's also kind of disheartening considering the number of things they could have stuck in its place. Stuff like Ostinato, which was seen in the fifth box in the Perfect Collection, or other unique conductions of these themes that would have been valuable to new collectors. Granted, some sound effects have been placed before the tracks themselves on the music here, but that's not much of an incentive in general. As for the bonus track, it's "radio drama" style presentation of the scene in the original Godzilla (1954) where Godzilla destroys the clock tower and then covers his destruction of the tower with the reporters.

I personally love this particular theme, even if it's incredibly short, although I also tend to have a weakness for "big band" type of music from this decade. Some of the other extras here include alternate takes to two of Ifukube's themes, which were also included on Toshiba's Dogora CD (TYCY-5503). The disc then rounds out its runtime with a wide range of variations on the "Call Happiness" song, although oddly enough no karaoke versions are included.

CD Number: GX-1 (Set)
Simply dubbed "Godzilla", this compilation is a reissue of an older 1978 LP of the same name. To Toho's credit, this is an incredibly faithful adaptation of the LP to the CD format, including a similar looking silver "foot band" around the CD and an insert inside the cover to match the one that was issued with the 1978 LP, although naturally it comes folded up here in order to fit in the case. The text on it has also been preserved and untouched, which is noteworthy as it makes mention of an "upcoming" Godzilla film that was to be co-produced by H.G. Benedict Productions (Henry Saperstein's "production company" name); which film in particular that was referring to is anyone's guess, as so many joint venture projects were aborted at that time.
In terms of the content on the disc itself, for a compilation this CD has a pretty good selection of some of the best themes from the Showa Godzilla series. To be brutally honest though, who really cares? The "Perfect Collections" aren't a cheap investment by any means, so it's definitely going to attract either diehard collectors or people who have never purchased the earlier releases and are now looking to get them all in one swoop. To that point, how is a compilation of songs found primarily in this box going to appeal to either group? This might have been useful back when CDs were new, but today with CD-Rs and iPods everywhere a company manufactured compilation just doesn't serve much good if one already owns the music. To add insult to injury, the music itself doesn't even sound as crisp as it does elsewhere in the set, really begging the listener to ask what's the point? This seems particularly puzzling too as this compilation has already been reissued before on CD, twice in fact. It's also kind of disheartening considering the number of things they could have stuck in its place. Stuff like Ostinato, which was seen in the fifth box in the Perfect Collection, or other unique conductions of these themes that would have been valuable to new collectors. Granted, some sound effects have been placed before the tracks themselves on the music here, but that's not much of an incentive in general. As for the bonus track, it's "radio drama" style presentation of the scene in the original Godzilla (1954) where Godzilla destroys the clock tower and then covers his destruction of the tower with the reporters.
