Welcome to Sixties Saturday!
This coming Monday, January 12, marks the sixtieth anniversary of the premiere of the Batman TV series on ABC! What better way to celebrate than by cranking up Neal Hefti’s legendary, driving theme?
Here is the original 45 rpm version by Neal on RCA Victor:
The rarely heard flipside, "Batman Chase," is also incredibly cool—it captures that frantic, pop-art energy of the show perfectly.
Those stereo mixes sound great!
If you haven’t watched the series in a while, I’m inviting you to join me in a "real-time" retrospective: I’m going to watch each episode on the same date it originally aired all those years ago! Since the show famously aired in two parts, it’ll be a fun mid-week tradition.
Same Bat-time! Same Bat-channel!
