Spin Records

Spin Records

Spin Records was an Australian popular music label of the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was established in late 1966 by Clyde Packer and a group of partners including entrepreneur Harry M. Miller. The label's first A&R manager was Nat Kipner (who is the father of musician-songwriter-producer Steve Kipner).

The label was originally called Everybody's, which was also the name of a teen magazine published by Packer's Consolidated Press, but the blatant cross-promotion reportedly generated resistance in local radio, so the label was hastily rebadged as "Spin" after only four singles.

Spin was distributed by Festival Records, then Australia's largest independent recording comapany, and Spin releases played an important part in Festival's business in this period, with hit albums and singles including the 1969 hit single "Mr Guy Fawkes" by The Dave Miller Set" and the original Australian cast recording of the rock musical "Hair". Through Kipner (who briefly managed The Bee Gees just before they returned to the UK) Spin was also able to secure the Australian release rights to the Bee Gees' Polydor recordings.
