$

89

This was PURCHASED USED from a Record Store and I HAVE NEVER PLAYED IT. This is a PROMOTIONAL COPY white cover Maxi Single. It is a Polydor Red Label with Promotional Copy printed on the label. The front cover looks pretty good, all those edges are good, small dent on bottom front edge, the front bottom right corner is very slightly "crushed" but other corners are good (see pictures). The spline is good and the lettering is really close to center on the spline. Back cover is "puckered" on the album opening edge (see pictures) and on the top left area has some cover damage (see picture). 

It has a plastic inner sleeve and is in good shape with some creasing.

Vinyl is good, it is clean with a nice label. I have never played it! Has some very light "surface scuffing" and looks to be in great shape.

Part of my Promo Copy collection.

Side One: Hell Hole (3:06)  Side Two: Big Bottom (3:31)

Spinal Tap (stylized as Spın̈al Tap, with a dotless letter i and a metal umlaut over the n) are a fictional English heavy metal band created by the American comedians and musicians of The T.V. Show, who wrote and performed original songs as the band: Michael McKean, as the lead singer and guitarist David St. Hubbins, Christopher Guest, as the guitarist Nigel Tufnel, and Harry Shearer, as the bassist Derek Smalls. They are characterized as "one of England's loudest bands".

Spinal Tap first appeared on the 1979 ABC television sketch comedy pilot The T.V. Show, starring Rob Reiner. The sketch, actually a mock promotional video for the song "Rock and Roll Nightmare", was written by Reiner and the band, and included the songwriter-performer Loudon Wainwright III on keyboards. The band starred in the 1984 Mockumentary film This Is Spinal Tap, which was accompanied by a soundtrack album.

In the years following the film's release, the actors have portrayed the band members at concerts and released music under the Spinal Tap name. Guest, McKean and Shearer toured in the United States in April and May 2009 and performed as Spinal Tap in a "One Night Only World Tour" on June 30, 2009, at Wembley Arena in London, three days after playing the Glastonbury Festival.

The trio also portray the fictional American folk music revival band the Folksmen: some Spinal Tap concert appearances have featured Guest, McKean and Shearer opening for Spinal Tap as the Folksmen.
