''Roman P'' is a song by Psychic TV about director Roman Polanski. "Roman P." was first performed in nascent form during Psychic TV's 1983 gigs. This early version can be found on the live albums ''N.Y. Scum'' and ''Those Who Do Not''. Of the many versions of the song, the best known is the "Fireball Mix" (from the ''Magickal Mystery D Tour'' EP), which was featured in a mid-1990s Volkswagen commercial, to the confusion of many fans. ==Single== The A-side features the titular song ''Roman P''. The B-side, credited to Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth and entitled "Neurology," contains a message from Mr. Sebastian, a spokesman of Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth, as well as collaged speeches by Charles Manson and Jim Jones which run simultaneously in different stereo channels, and references to Sharon Tate.〔Wells, Simon (2009) ''Charles Manson: Coming Down Fast'', Hodder, ISBN 978-0340977033〕 The release was pressed only as a 7" vinyl record, but two different versions of "Roman P" and both B-side tracks later appeared on the compilation CD ''Godstar: The Singles - Pt. Two''. Side B is a double-grooved track. The needle must hit the correct groove in order to play a specific track. The first edition was limited to 3003 numbered copies. There is a second edition of unknown unnumbered copies. "Roman P" gave the band their first hit, reaching number 13 on the UK Independent Chart and staying on the chart for 9 weeks.〔Lazell, Barry (1997) ''Indie Hits 1980-1989'', Cherry Red Books, ISBN 0-95172-069-4, p. 179〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roman P」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
