Description
"2nd Time Around" by Transition
Extremely rare 1971 private press Michigan folk / psych record
Vinyl is in VG/VG+ condition. Side B has multiple visible marks but they all tracked well, and quietly, on our in-store Marantz. Some overall surface noise, but clean. Minor spindle marks on center label.
Cover is in Good+ condition, mostly due to the absent back image. The cover has a four inch split on the top, but the front image is clean with almost no ringwear.
Released on MC3 records
Each side of the center label lists a separate matrix or catalog number:
Side 1: MC 7114
Side 2: MC 7115
Produced by Bob Baldori of the Woolies
and Jim Joseph
Hand printed outer jacket
(clean generic sleeve)
NO back cover image, seems to have fallen off. There is some faint writing in pencil on the back cover.
This record was featured in the book Acid Archives: A Guide to American Underground Sounds 1966-1982 by Patrick Lundborg
Here's his commentary, taken from a 2012 Collector's Frenzy listing (the record sold for $761.00):
"Mystery possible college project LP with different vocalists and instrumental combos. All apparent originals except the opener, a very primitive “That’ll Be the Day” with good thumping bass line, and “Loch Lomond” sung with a bad faux-Scottish burr but with a good rocking mandolin/trumpet/heavy bass/ drums backing.
Among the originals, Side 1 stand-outs are “Strawberry Days”, a hippie goddess folk rocker with angelic dual female vocals and a heavy electric guitar rhythm; “Right On”, a psychy folk rocker which has the sound of a teenage Bob Edmund, complete with garagy organ/drum backing; and “Go With the Game”, a rocker with a slightly funky rhythm guitar and bass line, a secondary trumpet melody and a Lee Oskar War-like harmonica solo.
Side 2 highlights include “Smile At the Sun”, with a mellow Annie Haslam style vocal and jazz-tinged electric keyboard backing (a bit reminiscent of early Steely Dan - think “Do It Again”); “KS Rebellion” a male vox folk song with odd lyrics (“Go fight your battle, Go herd your cattle”); and “the closing “Vida Blues”, a thumping bass blues jam with cool dixieland style trumpet leads and a wailing harmonica solo or two.
The LP comes in a cover with a spray painted front, and possibly a paste-on back cover which contained all the info (apparently ripped off from the one known existing copy)." - Patrick Lundborg
Of course, his copy was not the ONLY existing copy, but these certainly do not turn up very often. It's a wild record, inventive and spirited, very fun.
