Electric Eels double-LP Spin Age Blasters anthology due July 7th

Scat Records is releasing the Electric Eels' 28-track Spin Age Blasters comp on July 7th. Read all about it. 

Here's the scoop...

A world unto themselves, Cleveland’s beloved art terrorists the electric eels did so many things first it boggles the mind. Though they never entered a recording studio, there is a wealth of 4 track recordings made by Paul Marotta.in the spring and summer of 1975 that have cemented their legacy.

It’s been nearly 10 years since any of this material was commonly available, so we’ve assembled what we consider the be-all, end-all of electric eels compilations. When Scat released "The Eyeball of Hell" in 2001, that cleared the archive of unreleased material and put things to rights, like including the original 45 version of "Agitated" absent from all previous comps. For the Spin Age Blasters 2 LP set, we've gathered all the best tracks/versions from all previous comps of the last 35 years, and sequenced it in classic double album style for maximum flow between tracks while giving each side it's own personality. 

Think of it as one lifelong fan’s perfect mixtape – all the best tracks in their best versions in a sequence that flows while providing differentiation between the 4 sides. Mastered by John Golden. Available on black vinyl or metallic silver (limited to 300 copies, Scat web exclusive).
