Tale Spinnin' is the fifth studio album by Weather Report, recorded and released in 1975, featuring the addition of drummer Leon "Ndugu" Chancler, who was recruited after Joe Zawinul heard him play with Carlos Santana.

Weather Report was recording in the studio next door to Ndugu, and asked him to join them for “one session”.

Some Canadian copies of the album list a track entitled "Krampus" on the back of the sleeve.

In addition to the usual 2-channel stereo version the album was also released by Columbia in 1975 in 4-channel quadraphonic sound on LP record and 8-track tape.

The album was reissued in the UK on the Super Audio CD format in 2018 by Dutton Vocalion.
