It's doubtful all the tracks exist, and as the music used in each kaiju movie came from a number of different libraries, licensing costs would be too much, since everyone would want a minimum fee that is probably already too high considering the small market for such a project. They weren't real libraries that produced these tracks -- they were assemblages of film scores written for earlier motion pictures, and our label couldn't operate within the hazy legalities some of these "libraries" used. You'd have to license the tracks from a tremendous number of different source films, so the work (and cost) involved would be tremendous. Eventually, some of the scores from these source films will come out, like our MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD, which had tracks that were used in the U. S. KING KONG VS. GODZILLA. In fact, we'll be releasing another title fairly soon that will have music recognizable to fans of the U. S. versions of kaiju films."
