Please use this search engine as a guide as we cannot always  guarantee the availability or price of a CD you may turn up from one of SPIN's hundreds of pages.

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.

Well its back, in the form of Montreal's Soft Canyon's first album 'Broken Spirit, I Will Mend Your Wings' - (from alien 8 recordings) "this incredible band that has risen from the ashes of Tricky Woo. The band borrows heavily from the Laurel Canyon sound that spawned the likes of producer, arranger and musician Jack Nietzsche as well as absurdist popster Van Dyke Parks, not to mention the great influence it had on Arthur Lee's Love and former Canadian Neil Young. On Hope's Great Divide, a track that is incredibly catchy and chock full of studio trickery that will have you thinking it must be one of those lost gems from the 70's. The band also blends heavy influences of Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother era, with early Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers"....more here. Download an MP3 of Hope's Great Divide here.Out soon
