Just to whet your appetite for tomorrow, here is a very important set of cards, A & B.C. Gum`s "Batman" .
Now this card comes from a set of 55 and it has a full length Batman on the back - there is another set which has part of Batman only and a panel with instructions of how to join the fan club.
These cards are expensive now, but in 1966 you actually got four of these cards, and a piece of bubble gum, for 3d.

#MadgeBlake, who played "Aunt Harriet" alongside #AdamWest and #BurtWard in the 1960's #Batman TV show, began her acting career around the age of 50, and eventually had over 120 roles.

Btw, during #WWII, she had helped design parts for the atomic bomb in the #ManhattanProject.

BATMAN: THE MOVIE (1966)

2 Nuns, a Pram, a Brass Band and a caped crusader running around a pier Keystone Cops-style. Glorious.

As promised, Saturday #MorningMusic is the amazing B-side of the #BurtWard single. Just remember, I tried to warn you.

There was a small problem with making the 1966 TV Robin a recording artist: the dude can't carry a tune to save his life. Producer/arranger #FrankZappa decided he could work with that by steering into the skid. And oh boy, did he ever. Featuring the original #MothersOfInvention.

#MorningMusic for Friday:

It's 1966, and #BurtWard was trying to capitalize on the #Batman role that would eventually follow him forever. In '66, part of that strategy involved making a novelty single.

MGM Records tapped Tom Wilson to produce...and #FrankZappa to write and conduct, with the Freak Out!-era Mothers in support.

Tomorrow: the B-side, which is even heavier on the FZ (and that's no idle threat).
