The Swirling Eddies- Let's Spin

The Swirling Eddies- Let's Spin
The Swirling Eddies- Let's Spin

Long before alter-egos and anonymity were trendy, The Swirling Eddies spun onto the scene in 1988 like a holy hurricane of satire, soul-searching, and sheer rock 'n' roll mayhem. Conceived as an anonymous offshoot of the groundbreaking Christian band Daniel Amos, Let's Spin gave Terry Scott Taylor (under the alias Camarillo Eddy) and crew a playful and unfiltered outlet to stretch their creative wings-and their sense of humor. Originally cloaked in mystery, the Eddies adopted fictitious names like Gene Pool, Berger Roy Al, and Spot, inviting fans to guess their true identities. But behind the disguise was an all-star lineup of Daniel Amos members and alumni-including the return of Jerry Chamberlain and Rob Watson, plus new drummer David Raven (The 77s, The Surfaris). The result? A raucous, artful, and sometimes apocalyptic debut that brilliantly skewered evangelical clichés while delivering sunny power pop hooks and Beach Boys-worthy harmonies. Now available for the first time ever on vinyl, Let's Spin has been remastered for wax by Rob Colwell (Sixpence, Mad At the World, Rose) and pressed on eye-catching Lime Green Vinyl, limited to just 300 copies. This Deluxe Edition includes a full-color 4-panel 12x12 insert (2 pages, front and back) featuring complete lyrics and a massive collage of rare photos-a visual feast for collectors and longtime fans alike. From the quirky funk of the title track "Let's Spin," to the jangly sunshine of "Catch That Angel," to the gorgeous Beach Boys homage "What a World, What a World," the album balances absurdist joy with hidden depth. Tracks like "The Big Guns" and "Rodeo Drive" carry a satirical sting, while "Ed Takes a Vacation" evokes eschatological longing-all wrapped in a seemingly carefree package of genre-defying pop brilliance. For fans of Daniel Amos, Terry Taylor, Tom Petty, R.E.M., They Might Be Giants, or even Weird Al Yankovic, Let's Spin is more than a musical novelty-it's a work of offbeat genius. Only 300 copies exist-don't miss your chance to hear the Eddies the way they were meant to spin: on vinyl. Because if you're going to spin... spin with the Eddies.
