NEW SPINAL TAP ALBUM ARTWORK TAKES 20 MINUTES TO ASSEMBLE
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 at 12:30pm by Vince Neilstein
The same band that brought you the blackest album of all time has once against revolutionized the art of packaging recorded music by releasing the deluxe edition of their new album, Back From The Dead in a fold-out cardboard digipak — featuring 12-inch tall cut-outs of the band members — that takes 20 minutes to assemble.
The new disc from the legendary Spinal Tap drops next Tuesday, June 16th. It will include studio versions of tracks like “Big Bottom” and “Hell Hole” that were performed live in the 1984 This Is Spinal Tap mockumentary and featured on its soundtrack. Back From The Dead will also include a three-part version of “Jazz Odyssey,” a reggae version of “(Listen To The) Flower People” and newer songs including “Warmer Than Hell,” “Celtic Blues” and “Rock ‘N’ Roll Nightmare.”
“While the movie and soundtrack accurately represented our stage sound at the time, the studio versions of these songs on this album represent the cosmic maturation of the material, within a digital context,” said bassist Derek Smalls to ChartAttack.com. “Also, they’re louder.”
The deluxe edition of the CD comes with the aforementioned diorama (detailed assembly instructions here), as well as a one-hour DVD.

Once again (-st)…
Just meaning to help, not meaning to be a dick.
I think the Stonehenge monument tends to understate the hugeness of the object.
LOL
Gotta love spinal tap. anyone who dosent probably hates fun.
Yeah, but this goes to 11.
Did you see that they are releasing the album as a limited edition 11″ Lp??
Classic.
shit sandwich

HA!!! I love it.
He was the patron saint of quality footwear.
It would sound better in Doubly.
I can’t tell by the picture… is part of the foldout a tinfoil-wrapped cucumber?
awesome. I just saw Harry Shearer today narrating and singing in an upright bass centered folk rock opera about a talent show in hell. It was weird.
You can hear the sustain on that.
I love that, that is awesome. Typical.
This cd will be nowhere near as awesome as the advertisement for Whitney Houston’s new album that I keep seeing on this site!
