Holy vinyl, Batman! The Bat-Signal is lighting up the skies over Gotham City once again... and that can only mean one thing: there are still plenty of records left to discover.
If the first volume proved that the Batmania of the 1960s reached far beyond comic books and television, this second installment shows that the imagination of musicians, producers and record labels knew no bounds. During those years, any excuse was good enough to dedicate a single to the Caped Crusader, Robin, Batgirl, the Penguin, the Joker or, of course, the Batmobile.
This time you'll find fewer straightforward versions of the Batman Theme and many more oddities. Novelty songs, garage, surf, '60s pop and delirious instrumentals sit alongside tracks inspired by Gotham's rogues' gallery, impossible chases and musical adventures that sound as if they were lifted straight from an episode starring Adam West.
The final stretch shifts into instrumental territory, where orchestras and library music take over, proving that Batman's universe also found a home among Hammond organs, explosive brass sections, twanging guitars and rhythms perfectly suited to another high-speed chase in the Batmobile.
So fasten your utility belt, fire up the Batmobile and keep your eyes on the sky.
Because as long as the Bat-Signal keeps shining over Gotham City... there'll always be another forgotten 45 waiting to be discovered.
