The First Batman Record

[Bob Furmanek]

The first tie-in record was shipped the same week the first episode aired.

Recorded in New York as part of the "The Superrecord of Superheroes" LP and produced by Snuff Garrett and Leon Russell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=436utTptuOE

Duane and Gregg Allman were part of the Spotlights. http://www.duaneallman.info/familytreenote05.htm

Pretty Sharp.

Just how many tie-in records were there? I keep finding out about more of them! I know about the West, Ward, and Gorshin records; Dickie Goodman's "Batman and his Grandmother"; and the "Jan and Dean meet Batman" album. (All of them are on YouTube, of course!) Oh, and the soundtrack album (bought MP3s from Amazon). Other records floating around?

Don't forget Burgess Meredith's record:

And of course it's equally wonderful B-Side "The Escape"...which has some suspiciously John Barry-esque Bond horns in it.

By the end of January 1966, Batman record mania was at full steam!
