The SPIN Team

We at SPIN CD's can get our hands on virtually any CD that you want...of course we have our specialty areas, The DEAD, Psychedelia, New Country and any reissues however obscure, we have what you might call a MOJO profile. If you've read a review in Mojo, Uncut or the like, we'll have it in stock. We also trawl around the smaller labels and some 'Internet Only' outfits to stock hard-to get releases. Everything that appears on this page is archived either below the logo at the top, or on the links down this side of the page. Thanks for visiting and thanks for your custom.
