This release is (as far as I know) the first licensed record of the caped crusader from around 1966 or 1967.  Less than a decade later, Peter Pan would release a number of records under the Power Records label.

One thing that gets me is the front cover art (green faces! :roll:   What was MGM thinking at this time?)

The LP features Jackson Beck as the narrator (and if memory serves me right, he was also the narrator for Filmation’s “New Adventures of Superman” around this time.)

Incidentally, I have added the label for Summit’s Flair series here.
