With the movie version of Wonder Woman currently doing wonders at the box office, it’s inevitable that many will hark back to Lynda Carter’s TV version from the 1970s and its ridiculously catchy theme tune.

Clocking in at just under four hours, LaLa Land have released a great selection of the show’s music across three discs. Limited to just 3,000 units, the casual listener might just be after the catchy main title theme (and we get all three variants of Charles Fox and Norman Gimbell’s iconic composition) but this set is really for the serious collector.

The first half hour of disc one is for the World War II-set first season, The New, Original Wonder Woman, scored by Charles Fox, followed by half an hour of assorted cues from Artie Kane’s second season scores for The Return of Wonder Woman, and some alternate/source cues.

Disc 2 is episodic suites, with Artie Kane’s Anschluss 77, The Bermuda Triangle Crisis, Knockout and I Do, I Do, as well as Robert Prince’s The Deadly Toys. Disc 3 covers Johnny Harris’ The Deadly Sting and Skateboard Wiz, Hot Wheels (Robert O Ragland), Going, Going, Gone (Angela Morley), Spaced Out (Robert Prince) and The Man Who Could Not Die (Richard LaSalle).

I have no doubt that aficionados of either the show or the featured composers will relish the lovingly cleaned-up tracks, and there’s a detailed booklet to add some more insight. Those less familiar can enjoy the funky, jazzy, TV soundtracks from a time when shows were underscored in a very different way. And who couldn’t love a track called Chimp Chase?

Verdict: ‘In your satin tights, fighting for your rights!’ They sure don’t write ’em like this any more. If Rupert Gregson-Williams’ score to the Wonder Woman movie is just a bit too modern for you, travel back in time to the days when Lynda Carter ruled our Saturday teatimes – accompanied by some funky disco beats. 7/10
