Reviews from 
 Perchance to dream .......
Kudos to whoever at Varese Sarabande had the inspiration to release this disc. Here are all those wonderful snippets of background "mood music" that graced so many early television shows including, of course, the first season of "The Adventures of Superman." This music is so deeply embedded in my brain that the shows themselves are less well remembered. But, surely, others must remember a syndicated Western series "Stories of the Century" (starring Jim Davis)as well as a kazillion other early TV thrillers and B and C rated movies. As a matter of fact, check out my Amazon.com review of "Superman and the Mole Men" where I pan that movie's home videotape release because it does not contain this music. (The music heard on this CD was added later when the film was re-mixed as a two-part episode for the TV series; how pale and amateurish the film is without this glorious music!) Buy without delay and, if you're 45 or older, you will be astonished at how many buried yet vivid memories this CD dredges up!
 Too much Season One
This TV soundtrack is OK, but the best 'Adventures of Superman' music came from its second season, which, in this listener's humble opinion, contained the best episodes, as well.Too bad the soundtrack from the all-time best episode, 'Panic in the Sky', didn't make it to this CD. Granted, much of the music was repeated from episode to episode, however, season two could have easily been included here.
This is a must have
This is a great CD! I am a fan of the b&w episodes, especially w/the original Lois, Phyllis Coates. She was a woman ahead of her time. The CD is 70+ minutes long and of the 35 tracks, 32 are excellent! Listening to the music reminds one of some of the classic episodes, such as 'The Unknown People', 'The Evil 3', 'Rescue', 'The Deserted Village', 'Mystery in Wax' etc. etc. There is even a 'bonus' track at the end which is a (radio?) commercial of Kellogs cereal w/both George Reeves and John Hamilton taking part. If you're a fan of the show this is a 'must have'. Sit back, enjoy and relive your youth :-)
