Although it became her only album to albeit briefly reach the Billboard magazine Billboard Top 100, it failed to provide any notable standards cover version covered by pop artists. Its most famous song is the epic My Country Tis of Thy People You re Dying , which displayed a Native Americans in the United States native perspective on the colonisation of North America. In contrast to her first two albums which were entirely acoustic with occasional use of her distinctive musical bow mouthbow , parts of Little Wheel Spin and Spin added electric guitar by Bruce Langhorne , string arrangements by Felix Pappalardi or feature fellow Native American performer Patrick Sky on guitar with Sainte Marie. This served to pave the way for Sainte Marie s stylistic experiments on her remaining Vanguard albums, where she covered territory ranging from country to rock to experimental music.

For the U.S. record label of the same name, see Spin Records U.S. Label Spin Records was an Australian popular music label, active in the late 1960s and early 1970s. History Spin Records 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 the father of musician songwriter producer Steve Kipner who produced several early Spin releases. Most Spin recordings from the late 1960s and early 1970s were produced by Festival Records Australia Festival Records house producer Pat Aulton . Launched in late 1966 with the single Someday by former Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs Aztecs guitarist Tony Barber Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs Tony Barber , the label was originally called Everybody s, which was Everybody s Australian magazine also the name of a teen magazine published by Packer s Australian Consolidated Press . The overt cross promotion reportedly met with resistance from commercial radio, so the label was hastily rebadged as Spin after only four singles. Spin was distributed by Festival Records Australia Festival Records , then Australia s largest independent recording company. 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 , which became the first Australian cast recording to earn a Gold Record award. Through Kipner who briefly managed The Bee Gees just before they returned to the UK Spin was also able to secure the lucrative Australian release rights to the Bee Gees Polydor recordings from 1967 until the Spin label folded in 1973.

nofootnotes date December 2010 Image Epr spectrum.jpg thumb right 250px Electron paramagnetic resonance EPR spectrum of a spin label A spin label SL is an organic molecule which possesses an unpaired electron , usually on a nitrogen atom, and the ability to bind to another molecule. Spin labels are normally used as tools for probing protein s or biological membrane local dynamics using Electron paramagnetic resonance EPR spectroscopy. The site directed spin labeling SDSL technique allows one to monitor a specific region within a protein. In protein structure examinations, amino acid specific SLs can be used. The goal of spin labeling is somewhat similar to that of isotopic substitution in NMR spectroscopy . There one replaces an atom lacking a nuclear spin and so is NMR silent with an isotope having a spin I math neq math 0 and so is NMR active . This technique is useful for tracking the chemical environment around an atom when full substitution with an NMR active isotope is not feasible. Recently, spin labelling has also been used to probe chemical local environment in NMR itself, in a technique known as Paramagnetic Relaxation Enhancement PRE . References Berliner, L.J. 1976 .
