    I was able to order this as La La Land restocked this item recently. I kept resisting the impulse to buy this from other sellers who were and still are capitalizing on unaware buyers. Usually when you just buy from the company the item originates from, the prices are so much better. I waited for this one because La La Land said they would be getting it back into stock. My patience was rewarded! This music score is incredible! I also own the 2 cd version released by Warner Archives but I still had to have this one!

      This is a major upgrade in sound quality from previous releases. Simply stunning! A must-have for any Superman or John Williams fan!!

        Such a beautiful score by John Williams. Why it didn't win an Academy award, back in 1978, is beyond me.
