A perspective from a Spider-Fan under 40! June 3, 2008
A truly unique piece of Spider-Man history, Peter Parker's first rock and roll musical adventure, soon to be joined by the broadway musical.
As a child of the 80's raised on "Spider-Man & His Amazing friends", this is not a piece of nostalgia to me (I bought it in a comic store for the first time upon it's re-release), but a window into a decade I'll never know or understand. But it is fascinating nontheless.
While not radio hits by any means, these songs are definitely more sophisticated that the usual Hanna-Barbera cartoon band nonsense.
Ranging from synth-laded prog-rock ("High Wire"), to psychadelic intropection ("Peter Stays and Spider-Man Goes") to 1950's Frankie Valle style ballads ("Gwendolyn") this album shows great range.
While there a few too many "I'm Spider-Man" themed songs, the stand out track is "Peter Stays and Spider-Man Goes" which is really the centerpiece of the album describing Peter's concerns over his dual identity.
Following close behind is the tracks Dr. Octopus parts 1 & 2 which are way out there musically, but really are brought to life by the vocalist who goes on a tirade at the end of part 2 challenging everyone from the Fantastic 4 to the Avengers claiming he will destroy them. Funny stuff!
If nothing more than to satisfy your curiosity, buy it. It's being offered extremely cheap here on Amazon, I paid $25.00 for my copy, but it was well worth it.
 A Must For Superhero Fans September 29, 2006
What more could you ask for than seventies rock anthems telling the story of Peter Parker/Spiderman complete with narration by Stan Lee. I would spend an evening listening to this, than watching either of the recent movies. Just don't make me choose between the 70's live action show and this. That my friends would be a tough call.
Two of my favorite tracks are "New Point of View," about Peter discovering his new powers and abilities, and "No One's Got A Crush On Peter," about the struggles of the superhero who still struggles with the problems of teenage life.
 Good for kids and Spiderman addicts July 26, 2006
I bought this CD for my son when he was about four years old because he loves Spiderman so much. He's nine now and still iistens to it! As an adult though I find that the music is very silly. It's just a bunch of really bad 70's songs about the superhero. I would only suggest it for a good clean album for kids to listen to or for the collector of Spiderman material.
 spider-mans back and brought all his gay 70's songs with him July 19, 2003

Well i didnt buy the CD because i had already heard it and well i don't want to swear but it was very very rubbish. One word to describe it is something beginning with s and end in hit and rhyms with spit.
Great CD! June 21, 2002
When I was 8 (in 1975) my older brother bought me this album when we were in a record store one night. I loved the album and I listened to it a lot as a child. When I bought the CD last week I was expecting my memories of how good the album was to have been colored by childhood. The CD turned out to be quite good. It has some pretty good, original, 70s rock that was written specifically for the album. Stan Lee's narrations between songs is also very good. The narration and songs take you from just after Peter Parker became Spider-Man up to when his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, was murdered by Green Goblin.
