Jimmy - “Spin the Bottle” b/w “White Xmas” CULT 45 RPM Fatima label 1982 M/M

Description: For sale is a Mint copy of Jimmy's "Spin the Bottle" / "White Xmas (Christmas)" single. This was released in 1982 on The Plugz's Fatima label. This is Fatima 82. The cover is a single sheet folded over a plain white sleeve. This copy is shrink-wrapped, fresh out of the box . I have to admit, it's a strange record. It was "discovered" several years ago by a college radio DJ. He was sure it was meant to be played at 33 RPM. But no. It's a 45 RPM. Very strange. The flip side is a rather unique version of "White Christmas." Dr. Demento played "White Xmas" as part of a year-end review of odd records. Here's a link to the video sampler. https://youtu.be/m6ADA7k8qVA One reviewer called it "a cross between The Chipmunks and Devo's Boojie Boy." Here's a quote from WFMU;s Beware of the Blog about the record. The Enigmatic Jimmy's "Spin the Bottle"I got a request on my show today for a strange little single I had completely forgotten about - Spin The Bottle by "Jimmy." Little is known about Jimmy, but he comes off like a cross between Daniel Johnston and Gary Wilson. On the record sleeve, Jimmy is sporting lipstick and a stocking on his head, an Izod shirt, and he's holding a tennis Jimmy_1racket. The single indicates 45 rpm, but at that speed, Jimmy's voice sounds like a chipmunk. At 33 rpm, the single is too slow, but the slowness seems to fit Jimmy's lugubrious, demented delivery, so that's the speed that the FMU staff settled on back when this record was in heavy rotation. Jimmy's real name appears to be James Dean, the record label is Fatima Records, and he seems to be from Los Angeles. The sleeve of the single says "Demand The Album!" in tiny type, but these are the only two songs from Jimmy we've ever come across. And a response from Michael Adler (Rock Notes) who was sent a promotional copy."This is the worst piece of sh*t I have ever heard in my life." Will ship media mail to lower 48 states.
