Batman records of the 60s!

New post on my pop blog I thought some here might enjoy. Any additions/corrections?

Don't forget Dickie Goodman's classic "Batman and his Grandmother"!

 

Wow. I remember one of my parents bringing home a Batman LP for us kids. Had to of been in '66.
I'd never recall the name of the album, but I do remember it having the theme song on it. Beyond that, I think it was the incidental music that occurred during the fight scenes.

It is safe to say, I would have never remembered this had it not been brought up.

 

Maybe this one? This is the one I have/had.

 

Jan & Dean Meet Batman (1966).

 

I had the blue one in the link with Dan and Dale. I also have a Batman loose leaf notebook that is pretty nice, which I've never seen on Ebay or anywhere.

 

NSFW classic.

There's this cheapo cash-in on Design Records, a division of the notoriously bad Pickwick. I haven't listened to it in ages but it's mostly badly-played, generic instrumentals that they slapped some vaguely Bat-related titles on.

 

"Gotham City Municipal Swing Band" was used as the theme song to Oakland, CA.'s KTVU "Creature Feature" hosted by Bob Wilkins.

 

Same here. I remember having a Batman album around the mid 60s. I too remember it had the theme song on it, and a bunch of other stuff. I can't remember the album cover but none of those shown on the link were enough to jog my memory.

I also remember owning an album of cowboy movie songs, a Mary Poppins album, and The Beatles Second album. They're all gone now.

 

I loved this album as a little kid in the early 70s, then it got destroyed/lost and forgotten until the mid 90s, when I found a sealed copy at the now-defunct Car City Records in St. Clair Shores, MI for $4.00.

 

The Marketts were the backing band for a package rock show that I attended in the 60s. I still remember that as the curtains opened at the start of the show, The Marketts were playing the "Batman" theme.

 

Whoa. This takes me back. I clearly remember receiving this album for my sixth birthday, and playing it again and again while laying on the living room floor in front of the ornate Zenith console stereo. I haven't heard this album for at least 45 years, but I can still recite certain lines from the thing...

 

Anyone know anything about this one?

Batman - Original Television Series Soundtrack [Vinyl LP] https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00MZ3WLOS/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_nu7Aub1DXQT89

I was thinking of getting it. Looks fun.

 

Surprised no-one has mentioned this one:



Recorded at IBC Studios in August 1966. Released on the Ready Steady Who! EP on November 11, 1966.

 

I have that budget label cash-in album Batman and Robin by "The Sensational Guitars of Dan and Dale." It was in my collection for decades before I learned that it was actually Sun Ra and members of the Blues Project. It's a keeper.

 

Just discovered this record in my collection,and giving it a spin.Actually it's pretty good.Only song on YouTube."The Joker Laughs" is actually pretty discturbing.
