    1 out of 5 stars Wished I'd listened to the clips first.......2005-04-14

    Can only blame myself. The audio clips and buyer reviews were all there but I leaped first. "Cast Recording"? Noooo way. This is some group re-singing the songs from the original show, but completely void of the familiar, if hokey and shrill, voices and sound effects of the cartoon. The artwork that shipped with this (seems I had to supply my own CD case) seems genuine enough. I recall that Golden Records did a lot of these cheap, brightly coloured plastic 45 RPM "homages" to TV shows back in the early 60's. I recall it because the feeling of disappointment when I played this CD was completely familiar. LISTEN TO THE AUDIO CLIPS *FIRST* and decide. It will help you avoid trying to summon the mighty Hercules to dispatch the goons who put this together. O-lympiaaaaaahhhh!

    1 out of 5 stars Not So Mighty Hercules -- with an explanation.......2002-08-27

    This CD is welcome for fanatics of early 60's kiddie ersatz, but apart from the art work and some track titles has very little to offer that fans of the Mighty Hercules cartoon show from Trans-Lux will remember. Those seeking some of the lushly orchestrated music used as underscoring should look to an out-of-print Intrada CD called Creature From The Black Lagoon, devoted to the music of Hans J. Salter. The horn-laden music underscoring the scenes in which Hercules put on his magic ring and led it up to the lightning, and the heroics that followed, were all lifted from the score of the 1955 movie The Black Shield of Falworth, co-written by Salter, a suite from which -- including the "Hercules" music -- is included on the "Creature From The Black Lagoon" CD from Intrada.

    1 out of 5 stars Herc should save us from the fakery!.......2002-03-22

    This is not the powerful and well orchestrated music of the 60's cartoon I watched on Sunday mornings. Who was allowed to put this hoowey out?

    1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time or money!.......2001-02-10

    Original soundtrack from the Mighty Hercules cartoon? Not even close...what a disappointment! Fans of the popular children's cartoon will feel an urge to remove (destroy) this product as soon as they hear the opening track. If you're looking for the sweeping, powerful voice of Johnny Nash, or the full orchestration that practically defined this classic, look elsewhere. What you'll find here is a milquetoast, watered-down 40's genre mishmash that even Disney would discard. If you're a Lawrence Welk fan, then this is for you; otherwise, skip this one. What a shame!

    4 out of 5 stars Herc! Herc! It's Daedalius! It's Daedalius!.......2000-12-04

    This is indeed the re-release of a vinyl childrens classic put out in 1963 by Golden Records.Baby boomers will recapture their childhood with this one, as it will take you back to the days of camping out with cereal and snacks in front of a huge black and white console television, (most of us had one!).Of course this release would benefit from additional tracks including memorable underscores,but then it might detract from their intent that this is a pure re-release. I'm sure you will enjoy the memorable theme song most of all, --"with the strength of ten ordinary men", so why didn't eleven villians rush him?
