REVIEW

May 16, 2000 The CD is a nicely done "Best Of" type CD from the early Gamera films. We have from 2 to 5 tracks from each of the Gamera films "Gamera" 1965 through "Gamera vs. Zigra" 1971. The music on this CD is listed as in Mono. The exception would seem to be Track #12 which is entirely a sound effects track that is definitely in Stereo. Track # 14 is also mostly sound effects and also is in Stereo. The final track is the well known Gamera theme song sung by children Overall this CD is a pleasure to listen to. We get many action and suspense oriented tracks here with none of the kiddie type music and some but not many special effects noises.
