Spinal Tap Movie Debuts On iTunes

The Tap is back.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the film This is Spinal Tap, beloved mockumentary band Spinal Tap have released a new seven-minute short film called Stonehenge: ‘Tis a Magic Place. The film is available to download exclusively from iTunes starting today for .99.

The seven minute short marks iTunes’ first original film, where Spinal Tap, having put Stonehenge on the map in their legendary song about the world heritage site, pay their first visit to the monument.

“We all jumped at the opportunity to participate in a novel and ground-breaking way with Spinal Tap,” said Robb McDaniels, President and Chief Executive Officer, INgrooves, who helped put out the movie. “The resulting short movie is simply spectacular and the culmination of months of hard work for all involved.”

It’s only seven minutes, but still, any Spinal Tap is sure to please fans of the fictional hard rockers — Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean) and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer).

iTunes is featuring Stonehenge: ‘Tis A Magic Place alongside the original This is Spinal Tap film, as well as all three of the band’s albums including their new Back from the Dead.

“We’re excited about this opportunity to partner with iTunes and INgrooves to distribute cutting-edge content to film lovers and Spinal Tap fans throughout the world,” said Carter Pilcher, Chief Executive of Shorts International.

While a full-fledged sequel to the cult classic This Is Spinal Tap would be really great, the short version is still reason enough to catch up with the Tap.
