Which 1966 EP by The Who includes covers of 'Batman' and 'Barbara Ann'?

The 1966 The Who EP containing covers of “Batman” and “Barbara Ann” is “Ready Steady Who.”

Released in the United Kingdom on 11 November 1966, the EP was The Who’s first extended play. It combined two Pete Townshend originals with three cover versions: the “Batman” television theme, “Bucket T,” and “Barbara Ann.” The record was issued in mono and became a major success on the British EP chart.

Despite its title, “Ready Steady Who” was not recorded during the band’s appearance on the television program “Ready Steady Go!” The name referred to that appearance, while the tracks themselves were recorded in London studios including IBC, Olympic, and Pye.

The EP’s “Batman” cover is especially notable because the original composition was written by Neal Hefti, although early credits incorrectly connected it with Jan and Dean’s version. The tracks later appeared as bonus material on reissues of “A Quick One.”
