The most monstrous Godzilla soundtrack set of all-time has been revealed.

Waxwork Records has unveiled their new GODZILLA: The Showa Era Soundtracks, 1954-1975 set. The stunning new set features soundtracks from all 15 Showa era Godzilla films inside of a deluxe collector's box. The set is expected to be released in March, 2021 and is now available to pre-order for $450, however, it is unfortunately a U.S. exclusive.

You can view a full list of details and images from the new Waxwork Records Godzilla set below.

Waxwork Records is proud to present GODZILLA: The Showa Era Soundtracks, 1954-1975. Collected for the very first time are all fifteen Godzilla film soundtracks from Japan’s Showa era in a prestigious box set showcasing the groundbreaking music from the iconic giant monster films.

Saw this a couple of weeks ago. Very cool collection. I considered it until I got sticker shock! If I could afford this, it would be a definite. Love the presentation, packaging and especially the artwork. Kong looks a bit strange, but overall excellent, and much better imo than the artwork for Criterion's Blu-Ray collection.

I haven't passed on picking this up just yet... Yeah, it's absurdly expensive, but if I only need one kidney...

I’ve learned something interesting about most movie music. Most people refer to Orchestral or Symphonic Music as Classical. Movie music is often Orchestral or Symphonic, so to the general public, therefore it is classical music. Yes, I’m aware not all movie music is “Classical”, but much of it is. Think, Star Wars, Avengers, Mission Impossible, Addams Family, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and many Gojira Films.. I first heard a Modern Orchestral Peice called “The Rite of Spring”, and it made me think of the Big G. I later learned that Akira Ifukube’s music was greatly influenced by this.
