The Spotlights "Batman And Robin And 11 Other Funny Book Favorites"
Although a test album with 12 songs on one side,
Smash Records SRS 67081 was made in 1965 and
included the catalog number, title, and track listing,
the album was never released because
the master tapes were lost and never found.

8 of the 12 tracks appear on The Super Dupers LP,
at least 2 of the remaining 4 appear on the second Spotlights 45.
Perhaps the album was shelved by Smash and only the 45s
were released and then Snuff Garrett instead shopped the tracks
to Pickwick for the budget releases as The Super Dupers.
