This one is probably on FFS already, but - again - the desultory search engine
provides no help at all. FLAC link below.
This preposterous battle between the huge ape King Kong and the fire-breathing dinosaur Gojira marked the beginning of
Toho Studios aiming their monster films at children rather than general audiences. Director Ishiro Honda stages the battle
scenes atop Mt. Fuji for laughs, as the two lovable beasts play ball with a large boulder and generally behave like professional
wrestlers horsing around for the camera. Persistent rumors claim that there exist two different endings to this film, with
Godzilla winning in the Japanese version and Kong prevailing in the American print. These rumors are incorrect, as Kong
wins in both versions. Gojira survived to battle Mothra the following year in Mosura Tai Gojira, while the Asian Kong returned
in King Kong No Gyakushu (1967).

"This is powerful and exciting stuff: Ifukube calls into play a combination of traditional Japanese drumming, chanting,
and the kind of driving, dissonant music one associates with Russian futurism; indeed, Stravinsky's Le Sacre du printemps
was a major formative influence on the composer. The music is most effective when it is at its simplest; with crashing
cluster chords on the piano, combined with an orchestra playing mostly in unison or just two parts, pounding drums and
eerie period electronic organ one gets a strong sense at how different the Godzilla scores were from anything that went
before in terms of film music. Japanese recording technology was state of the art in 1962; no one else in the world could
touch it in terms of low-end response at the time, though the introduction of Edward Dolby's system would soon tip the
balance elsewhere. King Kong vs. Godzilla was the only project from within the early Godzilla series that had a budget
allowing for a stereo soundtrack. Nonetheless, one can hear how difficult it was to mix Ifukube's visionary music even
with this advantage, and some tracks essentially duplicate the music of others but demonstrate that the balance of
parts have changed back at the mix console.
Naturally, as in most film scores, there is considerable recycling of musical themes between tracks, and these are
frequent enough that some listeners may find it repetitive. Nevertheless, for the rest of us, what is not to love about
the soundtrack disc for King Kong vs. Godzilla? It benefits likewise from an attractive and user-friendly package,
good notes, and some charming bonus material, including some a cappella chanting not used in the final film and
a Japanese pop song heard over a transistor radio in the original King Kong vs. Godzilla that was left on the
cutting room floor in America."
