Very rare LP by Transition. Titled 2nd Time Around. . Original private pressing on the 'MC3' label #MC 7115. This album is a school project LP made by students in Maury Dean's Modern Music Workshop 295 Class at Monroe County Community College in Monroe, Michigan It was thought years ago that only one copy existed of this gem, however a few copies have surfaced over the years. This LP was produced by the great Bob Baldori ( from The Woolies) and produced at Lansing Sound Studios. Housed in a Generic white cover, some age spots/staining on cover. I printed a paste/tape able title page for the record sleeve that will be included loose along with the record/cover.

Track Listing:

Side1: "That'll Be The Day"//"Strawberry Days"//"Right On"//"Go Along With The Game"//"To A Politician"

Side 2: "Smile At The Sun"//"John's Other Song"//"Loch Lomond"//KS Rebellion"//"Vida Blues"

Please view the writeup this album received in Acid Archives: "Only known copy of what appears to be a school project LP. 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."
