REVIEW

June 8, 2007

This CD is an Ark Square exclusive and only sold at http://www.arksquare.net/index_main.html and at Screen Archives at: http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=6820.

This 2007 disc supposedly contains several rare and previously unreleased tracks. Since the CD is fairly exclusive there is almost no information about it on the internet at this time. The tracks are a combination of Mono & Stereo. Some tracks were pulled directly from the film masters. The CD comes with a nice 23 page booklet with black and white pictures. I'm sure it gives a lot of information about this disc and Mr. Ifukube but since the whole booklet is in Japanese I'll never know what it says.

Since I just received this CD today and really haven't had time to listen to the two discs, a full review will be posted at a later date.
