While most of Rick Wakeman fans are familiar with the music he composed for “G’olé!” – the official documentary of the 1982 FIFA World Cup – it would take a true aficionado to recall the Caped Crusader also wrote the score for its follow-up. Unlike the former, though, the latter didn’t see the soundtrack’s stand-alone release – maybe because the keyboard melodies weren’t on par with the first one, and even RWCC doesn’t list the O.S.T. – yet this situation is to be remedied on February 22nd, when a CD with a whopping 31 vignettes will see the light of day. Hardly essential, of course, but completists should rejoice.
