According to Billboard, mockumentary band Spinal Tap is set to release a new album in June, with contributions from prog rock icon Keith Emerson, tabloid sweetheart John Mayer, Phil Collen, and guitar shredder Steve Vai. The album, titled Back From the Dead, will include the stadium emptying Jazz Odyssey. Also included will be some rehashes, er, remakes of classics such as "Hell Hole" and "Big Bottom" and a reggae infused "(Listen the) Flower People." Reports also state that Saucy Jack (remember that dream side project), will make an appearance as well via the Spinl Tap website.
"Basically," says Smalls (Shearer's Tap alter ego), "it was possible to put out a record that was louder than any we've ever had before, and that was a selling point right there. We could have the loudest Spinal Tap record there's ever been, and we thought, 'Well, yeah, why not?'"
11 indeed.
Bonus goodies:
A deluxe package includes a 60 minute DVD and a pop-up diorama with three 12-inch action figures of Smalls, David St. Hubbins (McKean) and Nigel Tufnel (Guest).
