In General
Milestones (Landmark events that take place in this story.)

First original audio story.
First, last, and only appearance of Tom Nelson, the Fickle Fly
Peter sounds like an annoying jerk.
Spidey uses the phrase "more fickle than any flirtin' female in the fifty states.

First, though, take a look at the record cover because it's one of the coolest things about the whole package. It features an illustration of Spider-Man running shown only from the waist up. If it's from the waist up, then how do I know he's running? Well, his hands are gripped into fists and his arms are in a swinging motion, one forward, one behind, that seems to denote running. The bottom of the cover is a straight edge where he is cut off at the waist but the rest is cut out in the shape of his figure, so that his arms and head protrude out from what would be a regular square. A circle with text covers Spidey's right armpit. The text reads, in its entirety, "© 1966 Marvel Comics Group. Song & Story. Spiderman. Spidey and the Fickle Fly. The Amazing Spider-Man Record. 45 RPM. All Rights Reserved." In the upper right hand corner is the record's number, C 24, and the price, 49 cents. All the way down in the lower left in tiny print, it reads, "A Product of S.P.C. Newark, N.J., U.S.A." That's it. "So, what's on the back cover?" you ask. The same illustration as the front cover (but to conform with the cut-out, Spidey is now facing the other way) and nothing else. No text. No nothing.

Then, what's on the record itself? Side One (or "C 24 A") tells us that the record title is "Spider-Man" (with the hyphen properly place) but that the first cut is called "Spiderman." It is followed by "Spider and the Fickle Fly (Part 1)", not "Spidey and the Fickle Fly" as written on the cover. We get the Marvel copyright again and the "45 RPM" designation, plus a bit of text reading, "A product of Synthetic Plastics Co. Newark, N.J. U.S.A." So now we know what the S.P.C. stands for. The other side of the record (all you twenty-first century babies know that records have two playable sides, right?) ..."C 24 B"... has all the same info except the cut on this side is "Spider and the Fickle Fly (Part II)." That's all the info you're going to get. Actually, that's all the info you need. Let's set that record spinning!

It starts with a song called (you've probably guessed by now) "Spiderman." This is not the tune from the 1967 cartoon series. This is a sublime little ditty that starts with a wail of:

Spider-maaaaaannn!
Spider-maaaaaaaannn!
Spider-maaaaaaaaaaannnn!

Then a Big Bopper sound-alike starts singing a jaunty tune that goes:

He's got webs on his fingers and webs on his toesAnd knows how to use 'em, look there he goes!Walkin' on walls and ceilings with easeSwingin' through the air like a flying trapezeAnd just like a spider a-catchin' a flyHe can spin a web to catch a bad guy

Now just in case lyrics like "a-catchin'" aren't bad enough, here comes the chorus with a little Up With People flavor to it.

Spider-Man! Yeah, Spider-Man! The World's Most Amazing Spider-Man!Calling all crooks he'll catch you yet and wrap you up in that silky net.The all-time champ of the spider-set.
Spider-maaaaaaaannn!
Spider-maaaaaaaannn!
Spider-maaaaaaaannn!

Then back to the Big Bopper guy who really and truly says...

Hidey, Spidey!

He then continues:

Half spider, half man, hard man to beatGot more gimmicks than a centipede got feet.He got spider-sense and a spider-beamAnd spider-fluid, man, what I meanIs, anything that a spider can doHe can do better, I'm a-tellin' you.

(Repeat chorus. Including "Hidey, Spidey!")

It ain't over yet:

And he packs a punch that'll pulverizeAny bunch of, uh, ordinary guys.But here's the switch, he pretends to bePlain Peter Parker, the boy you seeOver there in class at the Empire StateWhere no one dreams he's really the great...

And...repeat chorus. Only instead of "Hidey, Spidey!" repeat "Spider-maaaaaaaannn!" and fade while repeating.

Now, that seems like enough for any record but that was only the appetizer, the opening theme music as it were. Now the story of the Fickle Fly begins.

We're in a class at Empire State University. The Prof is talking about a creature of the order araneida and the class arachnida. He calls upon a sleeping Peter Parker (we hear his snoring) to "give us the name by which this species is more commonly known." After Peter wakes up ("I'll be glad to put in a requisition for a bed so that you may sleep more comfortably in class," says the Prof, prompting some rather uninspired-sounding laughter from the other students), the Prof turns to Miss Bellows for the answer. She squeamishly responds with "spiders." The Prof then asks Peter to tell the class "the number of sub-classifications in the order araneida." Pete, in that smarmy thought balloon voice-over he seems to have in all audio and video representations of Spider-Man (which is enough to make you want to join Flash Thompson in punching him), scoffs at the thought that the Prof would ask him about spiders since he is secretly Spider-Man. But because he doesn't want anyone to suspect he is Spider-Man, he pretends he doesn't know the answer and replies, "Well, sir, I think there are, uh... is it, uh, five? Six? Ten, sir?" "Your knowledge of the subject seems to be, shall we say, slightly limited," sneers the Prof as the bell rings to end the class. The class breaks up with about two or three muttering voices....
