Supermusic

Back when I used to frequent thrift stores and before I spent 15 years living in them (working 50 hours a week at a few), I always kept my eyes peeled for LPs that might be odd or a little off-kilter (kind of like me!).

That's when I discovered, in 1960s and 1970s releases, the "cash-in" craze -- the "cover connection," if you prefer.  That is, the attempts to make money by recording knock-offs of hit TV & movie theme songs or genres.

When Superman: The Movie and blockbusters like CEK, Star Wars, and others crested in popularity, disco and synthpop were also at a crest.  Hence, the plethora of upbeat arrangements of these themes.

Here is Supermusic, a compilation put together from these second-hand finds, along with lots of TV themes.
