Adventures of Superman is one of the most memorable shows in the history of television. It starred George Reevesw in the title role, the only real Superman to the baby boom generation. The 104 episodes of the series, which began in 1953 and ended in 1958, have been playing in global markets for nearly half a century. The Superman Theme became a national anthem for millions who grew up during the Eisenhower years. The tracks behind the show were some of the strangest ever, filled with dark, threatening misteriosos and action-slashing fights and chases. This bold orchestral sound was virtually unheard of in television underscoring, before or since. For decades, soundtrack fans have wondered why Superman's background themes were never made available for home play. the masters of the earliest tracks had long been considered lost, while others, which originated in England, were purchased by music conglomerates who preferred to keep them in-house. Now for the first time, Varese Sarabande makes some of these themes available. Producer Paul Mandell, a leading authority on production music, and author if it's history for the Library Of Congress, spend over a decade searching for master recordings and the names of the actual composers, many of whom had been written off as unknown. This CD features the violent, eerie music used in Superman's first season episodes. The CD has a unique, distinctive sound. Bonus tracks are included. To those who stayed glued to the tube and watched Adventures Of Superman in the lamplight of the television, this music will linger long after the first ten plays. 1. Main Title (from "Superman") 2.
