"Batman" / "Flash and Crash"

MISC NOTES:

"Batman" was recorded in April, 1965, when the band was still known as THE IMPERIALS. The track remained unreleased until, coincidentally, the soon-to-be popular Batman series debuted on ABC TV. At that time the group went back into the studio for a remake. It was this second "Batman" that, along with "Flash and Crash" was issued in early 1966 as Panorama #28. According to guitarist Mac Park: ("Batman") actually got written up in (the entertainment trade publication) Variety........They referred to it as containing tasteless and inept vocal work (and) loud and obnoxious guitars."

2PA. & 2RA.) Monarch Records delta (^) numbers point toward these discs having been pressed January / February, 1966.
