Re: Waxwork Records Showa Vinyl Release
The artworks are really cool, they remind me of the Criterion artworks. Except these are a lot more consistent and don't have any experimental artstyles in comparison to Criterion

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Gigantis, the fire monster? I thought not. It's not a story the Toho studios would tell you...

I don’t have Facebook and it won’t let me see anything. Does anyone have a different link?

I really want this set but I think the price point will be over $300.

This is a HUGE announcement in every sense of the word! I'd be really interested in getting this, at a reasonable price of course.

Looks magnificent, but I think the price will exclude me from purchasing it.

Re: Waxwork Records Showa Vinyl Release
I wonder if they are going to do a set for the Heisei and Millennium eras?

Re: Waxwork Records Showa Vinyl Release
Thanks!! That looks incredible. I actually do have a working turntable (well, my wife does) but I just can’t see the practicality of it unfortunately. I listen to plenty of movie soundtracks, but it’s in my car mostly, or on headphones while traveling. It would be a very rare thing for me to sit down and listen to a Godzilla soundtrack on vinyl.
Still... it looks magnificent! If it came with digital downloads as well it would be more tempting though.

Bit too hefty of a price for me... Art on the box looks cool, though. And hey, they even got Gorilla on there!

Damn I like that Kong vs Godzilla picture. A little more serious looking than the goofy Homer look and Godzilla has an evil grin.

In the world of vinyl collection $450 isn't that much money for that many records.

Re: Waxwork Records Showa Vinyl Release
He looks like a psychotic ape god who enters our dreams at night and torments us with visions of hell from world's that shouldn't exist but do, and the only way we could function in them is by gouging out our eyes and screaming non stop for our sense of sanity would be incompatible for those dimensions!!!!!!!!!!!daveblackeye15 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 4:18 pmA little more serious looking than the goofy Homer look

I think it's Robert Sammelin but I'm not 100% sure.

Ok Godzilla looks cool but Kong looks like something out of Evil Dead or something.
