long-lost incidental music from spiderman cartoon found, swings, rocks

THERE WAS AN animated spiderman series back in the late 60s and early 70s. most of us can sing the theme song but the incidental music is also great and has been long sought-after by lovers of the, well, hard to find. folks like Kliph surely-this-isn't-my-real-name Nesteroff, who wrote a great article on the WFMU blog about his search for master tapes of the music.


he updated today with the news that he's found music from a couple of the seasons, and made a podcast in which you can hear a bunch of this great shagadelic material for yourself, contrasting the scratchy versions you can hear beneath the dialogue in VHS versions of the series with the glorious full-spectrum sound of the master tapes. my favourite track so far is from 'revolt in the 5th dimension'.

you can download it here.
