The Flying Train (1947)

These are the two 78rpm Superman musical recordings released in 1947 by Musette Records. The central image shows how the entire libretto was printed in the illustrated booklet.

I owned a copy of The Flying Train in 1948, which I must have learned about from listening to the radio program. As I recall, the lyrics printed inside had a few discrepancies with the words spoken and sung on the recording, suggesting there might have been a few changes made during the recording session.

Oddly, not much attention is given to these recordings in books and websites about Superman, which is what prompted me to post this here. Does anyone have a copy of the printed text?

  1. my mother took my Superman record away from me because I was so happy it came in the mail I bit Bud, the mailman. I remember very clearly the printing on the discs and the disappointing content, compared to the radio show
