Information about official releases
Contra [ARCADE]
It was released as medley on KONAMI GAME MUSIC VOL.4 A JAX [28XA-201] (http://vgmdb.net/album/3863) and KONAMI GAME MUSIC SPECIAL [28XA-214] (http://vgmdb.net/album/3876). Also, it was released as separate tracks on Game Sound Legend Series "Konami Game Music Vol.4 ~A-JAX~" [SCDC-00472] (http://vgmdb.net/album/3866) (all track names for Contra gamerips were taken from this release with small changes - see details below in GameRip description section).
Super Contra [ARCADE]
It was released on Music from Super Contra & A-Jax [K30X-7702] (http://vgmdb.net/album/698) (all track names for Super Contra gamerips were taken from this release) / [KICA-2307] (http://vgmdb.net/album/3438) and Konami Game Music: Classic Contra (http://vgmdb.net/album/12152) (strange release because there are only 4 tracks from Contra (Arcade)).
Contra III: The Alien Wars / Contra Spirits
CONTRA SPIRITS (http://vgmdb.net/album/696). Another strange release because medleys of Contra (Arcade, NES, MSX2), Super Contra (Arcade, NES), Operation C (GB) and MIDI arrangements of Contra III: The Alien Wars are included there.
Aki Hata is not in game credits, but VGMdb says that she composed 2 tracks. Manami Matsumae is not in game credits, but VGMPF says that she composed Go Foward Under Fire.
I think that there is no sense to make a gamerip because sound in official release is a bit louder.
Contra Hard Corps [SEGA]
It was released on Legend of Game Music ~CONSUMER BOX~ (http://vgmdb.net/album/6804). I think that there is sense to make a gamerip because the music in the game is a bit louder.
Contra 4 [NDS]
Contra Dual Spirits ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK (http://vgmdb.net/album/7001).
Contra: Shattered Soldier [PS2]
SHINCONTRA ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK (http://vgmdb.net/album/695). There is sense to include in gamerip only extended versions of tracks.
Neo Contra [PS2]
NEO CONTRA Original Soundtrack (http://vgmdb.net/album/26762).
Contra ReBirth
It was released on Dracula Densetsu ReBirth & Contra ReBirth Original Soundtrack (http://vgmdb.net/album/17109).
