Rare Spinal Tap Jacket Up For Bid


You know the scene.

You’ve seen it a hundred times. Maybe more.

During the Spinal Tap pre-tour party, Polymer Records head Sir Denis Eton-Hogg wishes the band "great success" with a rousing toast that ends with "And so say all of us... Tap into America!"

The party is a defining moment in the mockumentary as perky, chain-smoking, "hostess with the mostess” label rep Bobbi Flekman explains that the “Smell The Glove” album cover is so offensive Sears and K Mart refused to carry it (wow – remember when SEARS AND KMART sold records???)

Well, the rhinestone-encrusted leather motorcycle jacket bassist Derek Smalls wore in that scene can be yours. Julien’s has it up for auction.

You know you want it.
