is the soundtrack album for the movie of the same name. The score is composed by Ken Thorne. It was released as an LP record in 1980, by Warner Bros. Records.
Composer John Williams was originally slated to score Superman II in which he was given a screening with Ilya Salkind and Richard Lester. When Salkind left the projection room, Williams and Lester fell into an argument; when Salkind returned, Williams told him that he "could not get along with this man." To take his place, Richard Lester's frequent composer Ken Thorne was selected to score the sequel. Thorne wrote minimal original material and adapted source music, such as Average White Band's "Pick Up the Pieces", which appears both in the restaurant in Idaho and during Clark's second encounter with Rocky in the Alaska diner. The music was performed at the CTS Studios, Wembley, London in the spring of 1980 by a studio session orchestra (rather than the London Symphony Orchestra, which had played for the first film). The soundtrack was released on Warner Bros. Records, with one edition featuring laser-etched "S" designs repeated five times on each side.
A complete score was released in 2008, as part of Superman: The Music – 1978-1988, an 8-CD box set released by Film Score Monthly, with a limited edition of 6,000 units.

This was not a picture disc, and ...
