With sighs of disappointment over the latest Hollywood remake of Godzilla still sounding out, it seems the perfect time for Spencer Hickman's Death Waltz label to reissue the soundtrack to the original Japanese version. Released back in 1954, the Ishir? Honda-directed film was inspired by the success of monster films such as The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and remains the definitive version of Godzilla despite some ham-fisted attempts from Hollywood in subsequent years. This edition is the first time Akira Ifukube's 1954 score has been made available on vinyl, with Death Waltz granted access to remaster the music from the source material by the film's production company Toho. If you've seen the film itself you'll know Ifukube's score is an exercise in intensity and it sounds superb in newly remastered form. The cover art from Cheung Chung Tat is equally impressive.
