Superman Music Source Uncovered!

Here’s the final update on the Adventures of Superman music I have scored (get it?) over the years.  While rummaging through the dankest corners of the Fortress of Markitude, I came across the original paperwork from “Vintage Soundtrak,” the source of my compilations of AoS music.

First off, here are those two comps:

It was in late 1991 or 1992 that I ordered a couple of cassettes of music from Vintage Soundtrak.  One of those tapes was out of stock, so they sent me another.

Here is the order form they enclosed:



Note that you could order WITH or WITHOUT Dolby processing!

And they enclosed a very informative note on how they dubbed the music.

Following are the summary pages of their offerings.  Full of nifty info!

Boy, I wish I could go back in time and order all of those puppies!

Well, that’s about it, Super-Fans!  Tune in again for more excitement ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­on Thursday!
