Akira Ifikube - THE BEST OF GODZILLA 1954-1975 (Original Soundtrack) (Vinyl)

(2-LP SET) Several men have contributed to the scores of the Godzilla films, but it is clearly Akira Ifukube's work which dominates the series. Though he wrote the music for the first film under tremendous pressure - even beginning the score before the film was even finished - the motifs he created would permeate the films, so that, when listened to in one sitting, as we have assembled for you here, it is like an epic opera.
