Offered here for auction is a FANTASTIC, RARE, Batman find This auction is for a Master test pressing of the Batman Television Soundtrack album from 1966. It came from a collection that belonged to a NYC disc jockey/recording engineer who worked in the industry from the late 50 s through the mid 80 s. Not only does this include the Master but it also includes a 2-page mimeographed copy of text that was to be included on the label: title of the record, playlist, timing of the playlist, even the characters speaking in the show that preceded the music. It also includes additional information about the production and a list of people that copies were sent to. There are some doodling marks and a couple of marks due to the age of this mimeographed paper. This is a VERY rare find and a must have for the true Batman collector

Both have the date 2/21/66 written on them. Etched into the runout on side A is TFM-3180-A and WFS on side B it isTFM-3180-B and WFS.
