Godzilla: The Showa Era Soundtracks, 1954-1975 FROM WAXWORK RECORDS

WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE CRITERION SHOWA-ERA GODZILLA BLU-RAY SET THAT CAME OUT A COUPLE YEARS AGO. 


Well, our good friends at Waxwork Records have announced for March 2021 a Kaiju-sized box set of the movie soundtracks for 15 Godzilla movies in their GODZILLA:  THE SHOWA ERA SOUNDTRACKS 1954-1975.  As groovy as the Criterion Showa set was, the Waxwork Records set blows it out of the water with wow-factor!  Of course, the price is Kaiju-sized as well but, if you've got the dough-re-mi, this is a monumentally spectacular and beautiful set we'd all be lucky to have.  I've gotten several Waxwork Records over the years and they're always beautiful but HOLY KAIJU, this set is jaw-dropping.  18 records (all with different multi-colored vinyl as all Waxwork Records are) in a superb display case with tons of new Godzilla art from Robert Sammelin which I just HAD to show here.  This is truly one of the most impressive items I've ever seen anywhere.  If you click that Waxwork Records link up there, you can go take a look at it but just look at these covers:
