From the Mainstream LP Comic Book Heroes released in 1966.  OK, so kids must have been extremely upset when they got this home and found out that it really has nothing to do with any "Comic Book Heroes", despite the album title.  It seems to be trying to cash in on the spy genre then in vogue, as well as the recent success of the Batman TV show.  It also has quite the "go-go" feel to it.  The music on Side 1 would fit in quite well in the Austin Powers series, and the playing is quite good.  Side 2 actually contains tracks from from Irving Joseph's 1960 album Murder, Inc.  I have done the video in 1080HD so you can view the nonsensical song descriptions on the back, which are quite amusing.
