To recap, this box uses materials from these previous releases:
Mar'88 K30X-7702 = Music from Super Contra & A-JAX (This one has split tracks for A-Jax, unlike the
28XA-201(*) which was released ten days before it)
[A-Jax; Super Contra] Motoaki Furukawa; Motoaki Furukawa & Kazuki Muraoka
Aug'88 K30X-7705 = Konami Game Music Collection Vol.1
[Haunted Castle] Kenichi Matsubara
May'89 140A-7704 = Ganbare Goemon 2
[Goemon 2] Michiru Yamane, Kouji Murata

"Konami Game Sound History 1980-1985" is the source for all the brief, SE-embedded tracks of pre-1985 arcades that are used to open the Masterpiece discs.

Dec'91 KICA-1055 = Senryobako 3 The third disc of this box,
"KONAMI GAME SOUND HISTORY 1986~1987" is the source for the lone
[Mr. Goemon] track
Mar'92 KICA-7601 = Salamander Again (of course Salamander music was published way before this, but this is the first "10 split tracks + 3 lifeforce split tracks" release I've found on the db)
[Salamander; Lifeforce] MIKI-CHANG
Sep'92 KICA-7605 = Konami Game Music Collection Vol.5
[Hexion] Junya Nakano, Yuji Takenouchi, Satoko Miyawaki
Apr'02 KMCA-155 = Gradius Arcade Soundtrack (what I said for Salamander Again applies here too)
[Gradius] Miki Higashino
(*)Nov'05 SCDC-00472 = Scitron reprint of 28XA-201, splits each BGM into a separate track. This was released one year later than the Masterpiece box, however it was supposed to be in print since 2001. Since this one has split
[Contra] tracks, I used it as a reference. It seems Contra is one of the very few abriged soundtracks in the box (if you consider the fifteenth disc as a sort of bonus disc).
[Contra] Kazuki Muraoka
