The Amazing Spider-Man & The Electric Company "Spidey Super Stories" (Peter Pan 8189, 1977)
Despite the dumbed down stories, having Spider-Man pop up on the Electric Company seemed pretty damn cool to me as a kid. I’m fairly sure this was the first flesh & blood guy I ever saw playing him (they began in 1974), and that alone was a big enough deal that even giant rope webbing or played-for-yuks villains couldn’t mitigate the thrill. Oh, plus I thought that the theme (included before each story here) was pretty sweet, but I guess in retrospect all the Spider-Man songs sounded badass to me at the time. Actually I don’t think he ever really spoke out loud on the show (instead they’d flash cartoon type word balloons), but on an audio record I suppose it couldn’t be avoided. Mr. Morgan Freeman introduces all the episodes, naturally.

Great Blog! I just got tipped to it by BubblegumFink.
It looks like you and I have similar tastes in weird records. I will be downloading all of it.
Do you have “Spiderman: Rock Reflections of a Super-Hero”?
Somewhere I have a cassette tape I recorded of that, but it’s very worn.
I’m going to put you in my favorites and give you a link at my blog

You are unstoppable.
I hate rapidshare though. Can’t you make my life easier somehow?
Ah, excellent Ben T! I love your blog & have added it — some really cool stuff there.
I don’t have Rock Reflections anymore, but the cd is easily gettable.
By the way, I can’t wait ’til you start posting more of the stuff from your cover archive.
