REVIEW

August 05, 2010 Updated September 05, 2011

Playing this CD so far the sound is good. The CD is limited to 1000 copies. This CD is a compilation of 27 of the best original soundtrack themes from Toho's special effects film catalog. In addition, it contains a bonus track of the MONSTER ZERO March recorded live. Grab this future collectors item while it's available, especially if you are looking for a greatest hits package. The CD is currently available through Arksquare (www.arksquare.net ), though their price is $45.50, plus shipping to the U.S. which is between $15-$20.

UPDATE: September 02, 2013

This CD as well as Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 are out of print now and hard to find..
