FYE focuses more on Pop Culture memorabilia these days more than music and movies, at least in my area. It's actually depressing.

Amoeba had pressed CDs for GODZILLA and SHAFT, both of which are CD-Rs when ordered from Amazon. I returned my CD-R version to Amazon and got a refund. James Very sensible.

I was never really a GODZILLA fan as a kid, cos it was never shown on any telly's where I came from. I think I recall a cartoon, but I'm not 100% sure. So not having any affinity to those cheesy Japanese monster flicks of olde, I never really hated the Emmerich version from 1998. It may not have been true to the essence of Godzilla, but it had a nice rainy/foggy/doomy atmosphere and was your typical enjoyable popcorn/disaster film that Emmerich did so well. I also enjoyed the 2014 version, despite some drab characters and lack of 'big screen fight action' and thoroughly enjoyed KONG SKULL ISLAND for, again, what it was (big, enjoyable popcorn monster fun). This one is just terrible though. As someone noted above, there's no pacing or build-up. It just lumbers from one big fight scene to the next, with some boring/clunky character exposition in between. And man, is it long. It felt like an age, sitting through it. And I know these films are based on silly, but the level of illogical in the chase/escape scenes regarding nuclear explosions and such is just Lego Movie standard!! Some of the score sounded pretty good, when it wasn't buried under the crash/bang/wallop sound FX. I'm shocked by how bad this was, having enjoyed, to varying degrees, the previous entries in the series. This one just reminded me of those interminable Transformers films.

Does the fact that the track listings for both discs are given as WTM Temp Track 01 - Bear McCreary, and that it says "usually dispatched within 1-2 months" together with dates for receiving it 12 July - 9 Aug, mean that this is indeed a cdr? This is the UK site.
