Power Records "The Amazing Spider-Man Vol II" (PR-8144, 1974)
Here’s the second Power Records Spider-Man long player, with a different guy voicing him & maybe what, three other actors playing the rest of the entire cast on every story? These days it kinda sounds to me like this whole album was cut in a day, but as a kid I never minded at all. Here’s a testament to how often I must’ve played this thing; it’s been 32 years and I still frequently quote several of the astronomy scene lines from “The Invasion of the Dragon-Men” in my head when I’m noticing the stars at night (“Looks like the letter ‘W’!”, “Couldja pour me a Coke outta that dipper?”). Any way you spin it that’s probably pretty lame.

Thanks a million bah-jillion for posting this Power Records stuff. It is like heroin to me.

Man Or Astro-Man used a bit of the Attack of the Dragon Men on one of their songs. It’s on “Is It…Man or Astro-man?” – Invasion of the Dragonmen. This is the only Power Record I had as a kid. The only one I have now is one of the Planet of the Apes ones. Great stuff.
For more great Power Records stuff, you guys should check out the Power Records Plaza.
Not only did I have this and the other Spidey record as a kid, I still do have them, along with a big whack of other superhero and Star Trek records. But very few of them are listenable anymore–you’re doing your fans, nay, the world, a great service.
Incidentally, Man…or Astroman? also used a sample from the Batman story “Stacked Cards (Trumping The Joker)” in their song “Joker’s Wild.”
