Spinal Tap Sings "(Listen to the)
Flower People" and Other Favorites (Megaphone, 1967):
The bands gold debut. Rated A+ by Entertainment Weekly.
"Clear, crisp, scintillating. Was it the first breath of
a new dawn sweeping over the sludgy, self-satisfied rooftops of
rock n roll? Or was it a new, gritty realism seeking to
blot out the prettified homogeneity of early-60s pop? Who
cares?" Released in England as "Spinal Tap." Besides
title cut, includes "Have a Nice Death," with drum solo
by John "Stumpy" Pepys. Supported by tour of "the
world and elsewhere."
