Mike Matessino, in his podcasts, has recommended not to trash the bounded book of the out-of-print FSM Superman-The Music Blue Box CD-set because certain information from it has not been carried-over to the liner notes on the La-La Land CD booklet.

For Superman-The Movie, here are some data from the FSM book that is not on the La-La Land CD booklet: The mention of Lionel Newman being present at the Superman scoring sessions to help “John get into the groove.” In the La-La Land booklet, Herbert Spencer is mentioned as the “orchestrator” and the name of contributing orchestrator, Angela Morley, is listed in the “Special Thanks” page, but the name of another contributing orchestrator, Arthur Morton, is nowhere on the booklet.
