Superman & Other Galactic Heroes

Superman and Other Galactic Heroes is the fourth album from a series of film-inspired disco records, by composer and producer Meco Monardo and was released in 1978. It was the first Meco record to be released on Casablanca Records, and again features orchestral arrangements by Harold Wheeler. As with his previous records, Meco sticks pretty closely to the formula he established with the popular Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk.
