Swastikas for Noddy is a 1988 album by English music group Current 93. This album marks a shift in the band's style, stepping away from their earlier electronic-industrial sound and introducing the acoustic folk elements that would come to characterize Current 93's music. It charted on New Musical Express's Independent LPs chart in March 1988. The album was originally issued simultaneously on CD and LP by Crepuscule Records' industrial subsidiary L.A.Y.L.A.H. Records. It was later reissued as a remastered CD by Durtro Records in 1994 under the slightly revised title "Swastikas For Goddy", the renaming being due to copyright infringement issues involving Enid Blyton's character Noddy. “I was obsessed with Noddy, ” recalled bandleader David Tibet in a 2011 interview, in reference to the album. “I took a load of acid on the top of the house where Rose McDowall was living and I had a vision of Noddy crucified in the sky and it really impressed me… as you would expect. The next day I just went mad for buying Noddy. Before I’d seen him crucified I wasn’t any more interested in him than any other kid who’s read Noddy as a child.
