The other day alert regular “Mr B(ob)” pointed me this and I ended up following the name of the company that made it back to their basic but interesting site. These guys LOVE monster movie soundtracks! Most of their titles are the actual soundtracks from the movies, but in a few cases they have actually dug up the original sheet music, assembled an orchestra and re-recorded the soundtrack! They did this here, here, here, here and — most interesting to MST3K fans — here! Sing along to this little ditty.
All of which got me to thinking: What’s MSTed movie has such a great score/soundtrack that you’d buy a CD of it? I don’t mean songs that the characters sing. I talking about the instrumental score. And which one is do you really hate?
I suspect the Hercules movies and the Russo-Finnish titles will probably be the favorites. The score to the “Day the Earth Froze” is pretty impressive. For worst, I’d have to go with the “buppa-duppa” mess of “Danger! Death Ray!” How about you?

Posted by Sampo, on May 5th, 2011 A further note from Jordan Fields at Shout! Factory:
I’d completely forgotten about the MST Hour wraps for “Gamera” and “Gamera Vs. Guiron” until reading their responses to the extras. Fortunately there is still time to include, so I will. As for the KTMA host segs (or any footage from KTMA), I was not able to include.
Here’s an update Vol. XXI: “MST3K Vs. Gamera” (as it will be called). As you already know it will contain all five Gamera episodes: 302- GAMERA, 304- GAMERA VS. BARUGON, 308- GAMERA VS. GAOS, 312- GAMERA VS. GUIRON and 316- GAMERA VS. ZIGRA. It will be in a tin box. The street date is Aug. 2
The extras will be:
* So Happy Together: A Look Back at MST3K and Gamera
* Gamera Vs. The Chiodo Brothers
* Gamera Obscura: A Brief History by August Ragone (author of Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters)
* Original Japanese Trailers
* 5 limited edition mini-posters by artist Steve Vance
