A scarce 1990 A&M promotional release issued ahead of And The Horse They Rode In On, complete with the original promotional insert sent to radio stations and DJs.
Included with this copy is the original A&M Records promotional one-sheet sent to radio stations and music industry contacts when the record was originally distributed.
The insert promotes Soul Asylum's forthcoming album And The Horse They Rode In On and features a humorous message from A&M's alternative marketing department introducing "Spinnin'" as the first single. These promotional inserts were often discarded, making surviving examples increasingly difficult to find today.
Released in 1990, this promotional-only 12" arrived during a pivotal period in Soul Asylum's evolution from respected Minneapolis underground favorites into one of the defining alternative rock bands of the decade.
Both tracks were taken from And The Horse They Rode In On, the final Soul Asylum album released before the band's commercial breakthrough years. Produced by Steve Jordan and written by David Pirner, the record captures the raw energy and melodic songwriting that would soon bring the group a much larger audience.
Many promo records survive, but far fewer remain complete with their original marketing materials. The inclusion of the original A&M promotional one-sheet adds a unique layer of music industry history and makes this copy especially appealing to Soul Asylum collectors, alternative rock fans, and promo vinyl enthusiasts.
