Superman: The Movie (Soundtrack) vinyl

Mondo is re-releasing its immensely popular Superman: The Movie double LP and Graphic Novel Box Set. Initially unveiled at New York Comic Con in 2023, the previously sold-out collection is now available to a wider audience. John Williams' iconic Superman score is pressed onto two 140-gram vinyl records, featuring artwork by DKNG and liner notes by Michael Matessino. Encased in a clamshell with new artwork by Joe Quinones and Paolo Rivera, the box set also includes DC's Superman '78, written by Robert Venditti, with pencil work by Wilfredo Torres and inking by Jordie Bellaire. Initially, Williams' 'Theme from Superman (Main Title)' became a standalone hit, reaching modest positions on the U.S. music charts. Although Margot Kidder was initially meant to sing 'Can You Read My Mind?' with lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, director Richard Donner opted for a musical composition with a voiceover instead. Williams' Superman score earned him an Academy Award nomination, though he lost to Giorgio Moroder's score for Midnight Express. Combining historical context with stunning new artwork and comprehensive liner notes, this release is a great edition of the iconic movie soundtrack.
