On this set, there's an alternate version of the main theme music for Superman: The Movie that sounds remarkably like the one for Superman IV but can't remember where it is.
It's disc 2 track 11, “Prelude and Main Title,” an earlier version of the main title march which was used by Sandy Courage as the basis for the main title for Superman IV.

Jim, assertion is not fact, not yours, not Ron's, not anyone's. Opinions are opinions, everybody has one, and everyone's opinion is right for them. But "true" it's not.

I thought this was a good a day as any to resurrect this one, as it was mentioned in the happily, endless LLL questions thread.
Of course we all came for part 1 and it has never, nor possibly could (??) sound or be presented better.
How about the sequels though?
Part 2 may he my least favorite - it's fascinating to read about, sound quality is incredible, but score is overall reliant on revisiting fragments of Williams motifs, and is overlong. That said, it still gets more plays than anything Djwadi or his ilk have written in this house.
Part 3 is more fun, a tad more focused, and certainly more compact.
Part 4 is a freaking goldmine of great stuff, I probably already preached that gospel in this thread. Proof that a shitty movie with what we THINK is an inconsequential score is not always the whole story.
The Ron Jones I honestly, shamefully play very little, but do keep trying to give it time. No connection to the animated show, so...
The extras - grateful to have, but visit them less. As a die-hard Moroder fan, hate to say it's his worst record, Part 3, and it should've been the biggest draw for me. Hey, the king of disco paired with the king of the road - we can't lose! :-So, I'd pay $120 x 2 for thus set again anyday, what say you, gold people?
Looking forward to that chorus of crickets!

Still don't know why Chris Malone kept going on about noise reduction when the box came out though. This was remastered from a 35mm mag source and if you've ever read the liner notes to a Mercury Living Presence recording, you'll know that the whole reason they used 35mm mag was to reduce the additional noise and hiss inherent in tape sources.
He’s just a grumpy man that should be more appreciative of these things actually getting out in the first place.
What a wonderful world we live in where most of our Holy Grails have seen spectacular releases that we would have never imagined or thought possible!

I learned that lesson with the Spock's Brain episode on the Star Trek TOS set.
