#170 Power Bat-Records
from To The Batpoles! Batman 1966
In the mid-1970s, Power Records (a division of Peter Pan records) released audio stories of a number of popular properties, including Batman. Two volumes were released of four stories each, and some of the stories were then released as 7" "singles" complete with a comics version of the same story. Occasional elements in the stories were echos of the '66 show. While the Power Records superhero discography utterly passed Tim and Paul by at the time, JB Anderton was really into them. JB, creator of the BAT 77 podcast, Batpoles listener, and musician, joins Tim and Paul this time to discuss how these Batman records introduced kids (including himself) to concepts such as psychosurgery, low production quality, super gorillas, and … death!? PLUS: JB's own "funk version" of the Batman theme, and we read your comments on our Tom Peyer interview in episode 167!
