Product Description

Product Description

• BGP proudly launch a new outlet - the BGP SOUND LIBRARY, which will be the home for a whole slew of funky themes and other inspired ‘library style’ recordings from our vaults.

• The first release is a very rare Maxwell Davis recording from 1966 which was released for a very short period on the UK Ember label (as well as on a USA Crown LP) in the wake of the Batman craze of 1966, when the famous pop art TV series was at the peak of its popularity.

• Our release gathers the ten tracks from that album – all in a style that suggests groovy go-go dancers going wild at an all-night happening in the Batcave – plus three related recordings by Maxwell Davis from the period.

• Davis was one of the true greats of the post-war R&B era. He produced over 100 US R&B hits and was a constant figure from the mid 40s to the late 60s recording with many of the true West Coast legends such as B.B. King, Louis Jordan and Lowell Fulsom.

• The CD comes in the usual Ace Records high quality artwork with an in-depth sleeve note on Maxwell Davis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Go Go Groovy 16 Dec 2006
By D.L.J.Mann TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Made as a cash in product during the TV show's poularity, this would have made a great soundtrack in it's own right and it's a real shame that it's taken so long to find a CD release. Of the 1O tracks from the original album 9 are originals - all of them are go go groovy. Aside from the obvious Batman theme, the 2 other covers which make up 2 of the 3 bonus cuts are the magnificent Green Hornet Theme & The Good Bad & The Ugly which in the context of this album is less than magnificent and doesn't fit. The 3rd bonus track is entitled Tijuana Harlem - a real blast of sassy R&B sax - I'm not sure if it fits but I'm freakin' glad it was included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bat'riffic 10 Feb 2007
By Gary Nolt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is one of many albums made in the late sixties to cash in on the Batman tv show craze.It has some great action music that remind's me of many tv spy and cop show's like Man From U.N.C.L.E. and I Spy.If your a fan of these show's you will enjoy this music.
