A ridiculously groovy pop reenactment of the tragic origin and early days of the classic flagship Marvel Comics character, this long-deleted dandy is worth seeking out just for the ace art by "Jazzy" John Romita (the Black Panther on electric guitar) or the nifty narration by Stan "The Man" Lee. But the black circle inside is also unbeatable. Recorded in the mid-'70s by the pseudo-group Hero, Rock Reflections, like most records from this golden era, goes for every style: "Square Boy" toots its own horns (actually, that's the mighty Thor); "New Point of View" merges reggae and adult contemporary; and the multi-tentacled, ostentatious "Dr. Octopus" takes a brilliant cue from Mott the Hoople and a certain rocking horror show. Under the grooves unweaves the tangled web of high school wallflower Peter Parker's tragic transformation from bashful boy-genius into the amazing Spider-Man. Regardless of how many times you've heard this epic saga, Rock Reflections constantly entertains and enthralls. (Merry Marvel also released several excellent, dramatic audio recreations of individual comic issues during this time.) But Rock Reflections goes beyond the origin to early encounters with crush Gwen Stacy (doo wop) and the life-altering run-in with arch-nemesis the Green Goblin (one of the most poignant moments in fiction). Rock rococo done right. Not sure why you're reading if not a comic buff, but this boss work will appeal to all, so head down to your local record store, hear? Lovingly reissued in 1998 on CD with some extra lost material. Excelsior! ~ Doug Stone
