The story
Filmmaker Martin "Marty" Di Bergi is filming a documentary about English rock band Spinal Tap's 1982 United States concert tour to promote their new album, Smell the Glove.
Tensions rise between the band and their manager, Ian Faith, as several shows are canceled due to low ticket sales and major retailers refuse to sell Smell the Glove because of its planned sexist cover art.
Without consulting the band, the band's record label releases Smell the Glove with an entirely black album cover.
