Description:

[ERA : 60s, 70s / Rock, Pop ] In SPIN DRIED, Bill Casey looks at one of Australia's most influential labels. He examines all of SPIN's releases between 1966 and 1974, weaving in anecdotes and social history to give deeper context to the SPIN story. Every SPIN artist, from the most famous to the most obscure, is discussed with their singles, EPs and LPs highlighted in chronological order. SPIN's most famous signing was the BEE GEES. Casey explains why SPIN disregarded the group's previous poor sales and backed the Gibb brother's remarkable songwriting skills. It was a gamble that paid off handsomely for the label and the group. SPIN's principals included Clyde Packer, heir-apparent to the Packer family fortune & Sydney showbiz entrepreneur, Harry M Miller. The book also details other participants including sound engineers and producers. /
