Description
In 1997, VAP released their Akira Ifukube Unreleased Film Music Complete Works series. Mostly known by their secondary title, the Film Composer Selection series, it consists of six volumes overall. Each volume is dedicated to Ifukube's music from films produced by a certain studio, with the exception of the sixth volume, which is music to a shadow puppet play by artist Seiji Fujishiro. While I do have them all, I will not be able to upload the first and last volumes here (or PM) at this time.
The following are the volumes in the series:
Akira Ifukube Unreleased Film Music Complete Works Daiei Edition: Zatoichi Series/Sleepy Eyes of Death Series (VPCD-81186)

This is the third volume, Akira Ifukube Unreleased Film Music Complete Works Toei Edition: Shinran/Thirteen Assassins, or Film Composer Selection Shochiku. This volume covers music Akira Ifukube composed for Toei produced films. The album features selected cues from the two Shinran films (1960), "Conspirator" (1961), "King" (1962), "Tokugawa Ieyasu" (1965), "Thirteen Assassins" (1963), "Eleven Samurai" (1967), "Thirteen Thousand Suspects" (1966) and "Dawn of the Skyscraper" (1969). In all, this release contains music from nine films. All music is in mono. Released on March 1, 1997.
As a side note, my favorite track here is track 35.

I had absolute hell trying to translate some of the tracks here. I did the best I could do with my limited abilities. Until I can come across someone fluent in Japanese and would be willing to provide translations, I will never be satisfied with these tracks. The tracks I had hell on are tracks 2, 5, 9, and 25.
Links
I made a link to MP3 rips at the Godzilla Scores (Sharebee) thread here on the forums eons ago. I thought that not only should there be fresh rips, this album should get its own thread as well. There are two links for you to choose from, both are uncompressed RAR files. The first link is for the version in WAV, and the other is for the MP3 version. These are fresh rips that I made today. As I said above, included with the links is a simple PDF of both track lists.
The links are no longer available. Please not not requests the links. All requests will be ignored.
Final Remarks
I hope that you will enjoy this fairly hard to find album. If you encounter any issues, please let me know. Enjoy!
