John Elias Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Don't have one but the original has the chicago address at the bottom in quite small lettering as do all the original St Lawrence's
SteveM Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Original is "bat man". With "Robin at the go go" on the othr side.
45cellar Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 With "Robin at the go go" on the othr side. Issued first as St Lawrence 1010 Batman At The Go Go / Robin At The Go Go Withdrawn; Then as St Lawrence 1011 The Fat Man / Working At The Go Go

Came from Soul Bowl in '70s. They only had a very small quantity. By then, 'Working' was seen as a good-oldie, maybe even played-out. So although the Batmans' proceeded in the Catalogue as I remember they didn't come on to the scene until well after 'Working' was already a big record. The arrival of the 'Batmans' was seen as a bit of a collector's curiosity item. Sorry no scan at work Ridds. When's your next night, I'm keen to come up.

"Batman At The Go Go" was thought to be Demo only until fairly recently. Both spellings were advertised on club playlists (in B&S etc.) when the record was huge, back in mid-1973, along with the more popular instrumental flipside. Edited July 6, 2007 by mel brat

Thanks for that, on a similar subject, one thing that I haven't seen is a DEMO for "Working At The Go Go" / "The Fat Man". Anyone know if they are Stock Copy only, surely there must be a St Lawrence 1011 DEMO, it's just I haven't seen one ..... Yet! Hopefully someone will post one as I've often wondered. In addition, whereas "Robin At The Go Go" and "Working At The Go Go" Obviously kept the same Matrix. (Being Instrumental) 20088 "Batman At The Go Go" has 20087 "The Fat Man" has 20091 According to a recent post, they had to reissue and remaster for copyright reasons. (i.e. "Batman" & "Robin" reference) Edited July 7, 2007 by 45cellar
Kev John Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) What about miss labelled ones with Working At The Go Go both sides - address under Logoatb Kev Edited October 8, 2015 by Kev John
Chris L Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 According to a recent post, they had to reissue and remaster for copyright reasons. (i.e. "Batman" & "Robin" reference) Yes that's right, DC used to own them.

That's right, I have the original of 1011 Butch Baker with a nice quaility label, and also a poor looking grainy label bootleg copy of 1011.
Guest Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Original of issue 1011. Mid 60's release.1970's bootleg copy. Looks washed out compared to the original label.
