"In a world gone bad, what ever happened to the good? Lots of 'villains', but no 'heroes'?!"

....is the caption I wrote for it's SOUNDCLICK Upload in 2007.


In reality, as a song, "Superhero" was "The Great Big AFTER-THOUGHT!!"

You see, it was NOT a part of the original album configuration of "The Secrets Of The Cosmos"--it wasn't even on the 'copyright cassette' I registered in August, 1984.

There was only supposed to be ONE Song on Side Two of the Album-Cassette ("The Secrets Of The Cosmos" Title Track itself--all 20 minutes and some change of it!)--

...but it was a C-60 CASSETTE-ALBUM, not a Vinyl 12-inch LP (and at 30 Minutes per side, there was plenty of room), so, what the hell. In the end, Side B of the final "The Secrets Of The Cosmos" Cassette-Album master topped-out at nearly 28 minutes (whole album: about 57 minutes!!).

Also, it felt better closing the whole thing on a upbeat note, instead of just that dour nearly half-hour-long instrumental experiment.

Finally, "Superhero" was the THIRD TRACK (along with "Frida, Don't You Cry" and "Rocketship"--all from "The Secrets Of The Cosmos" album) to be vocally re-recorded in '89. It sounded alright--
'til the second half, where it became kinda tame, compared to the wildness in the original version--which is the one we have here.
