Superman : The Music 8 CD (1978-1988)

Et oui, que de bonheur en ce jour de Juillet (le 13 exactement) où je parviens enfin à me procurer cette édition très rare (3000 exemplaires dans le monde) des BO complètes des 4 premiers Superman !!!

Alors voici d'abord un récapitulatif des 8 CD de cette édition :

CD 1 : Superman The Movie (partie 1), par John Williams

CD 2 : Superman The Movie (partie 2 + Alternate Tracks) par John Williams

CD 3 : Superman II, par Ken Thorne

CD 4 : Superman III, par Ken Thorne

CD 5 : Superman IV, Quest For Peace (partie 1), par Alexander Courage

CD 6 : Superman IV, Quest For Peace (partie 2 + Alternate Tracks), par Alexander Courage

CD 7 : Superman : The Animated Series, par Ron Jones

CD 8 : Additional, Alternates, Source Music & Songs

La première chose la plus plaisante dans cette édition pour moi, c'est de trouver (enfin !!!!) la BO complète de Superman III, dans lequel on entend ce merveilleux thème romantique entre Lana et Clark...Le plus beau thème de Superman III. C'est la première chose que j'ai écouté d'ailleurs...

Concernant Superman : The Movie, et Superman II, ce n'est ni plus ni moins les BO complètes que l'on connait déjà, mais en bien meilleure qualité, surtout Superman II. Quant au dernier, comme je n'ai pas encore tout écouté, je ne sais pas encore ce qu'il en est, mais nul doute que ce sera très bien....
