More Info

• 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.
