Rest in Peace, Akira Ifukube
(1914-2006) |
First time ever on CD in North America! Presenting
the original motion picture soundtrack to the classic 1962 Toho
Studios monster thriller "King Kong Vs. Godzilla." Legendary
composer Akira Ifukube ("Godzilla")
fashions a spellbinding orchestral score to chronicle this one-of-a-kind
battle between two of filmdom's most beloved creatures. Remastered
from Toho Studio vault sources, with bonus tracks and featuring
exclusive liner notes, this is the definitive release
of Ifukube's amazing score. Godzilla celebrated his 50th Anniversary
in 2004 with many worldwide events and King Kong has seen a
resurgence of interest with the new Peter Jackson film and a
new DVD release of the original movie.
