Product Details
More than 30 years ago Marty Di Bergi (played by director Rob Reiner) could not have known that as he introduced his "rockumentary" This Is Spinal Tap , he was creating a work of genius that would rock on for decades. Consistently cited as one of the funniest movies ever made (and often spoken about by rock stars as one of the most frightening movies they've ever seen), This Is Spinal Tap has achieved cult status around the world. Spinal Tap: The Big Black Book will bring to the public, for the very first time, the story of the band in words, pictures, and removable facsimile memorabilia. Turn your bookshelf up to 11 with this fully authorized publication.
Wallace Fairfax is from Clitheroe, Lancaster. Wallace was not only the first British journalist to interview Spinal Tap after their triumphant first gig (as Spinal Tap) at London's Music Membrane in 1966, he was also the very first person to buy their debut album. In 1971, Spinal Tap invited Wallace to travel with them around the word to document their rise to the top. At somewhere around the middle, in 1972, Wallace left the rock'n'roll lifestyle behind for a "proper job" (his wife's words). Since then, Wallace has remained Spinal Tap's greatest friend, and fan, hence them asking him to write this book. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
