II & III (40th Anniversary Edition) Teal Vinyl

Do not eat or drink anything past midnight prior to your appointment NO FOOD, NO LIQUID.Nonsensical, unuser friendly, at times half finished. Camper Van Beethovens second album II amp III saw the folkpunk of the bands debut LP morphing into an even wider array of stylistic influences and unironic contradictions, all rolled up into a coherently incoherent collection of some of the bands most defining songs.Originally released in 1986, the follow up to Telephone Free Landslide Victory did much to develop an already iconoclastic Camper Van Beethoven idiom. II amp III ranges from altcountry ballads Sad Lovers Waltz to callbacks to the European folk instrumentals of their earlier work No Krugerrands For David, 4 Year Plan. Also featured is the bands bluegrassAmericana take on Sonic Youths I Love Her All the Time, satiating their appetite for cover songs.This Limited Edition Teal Vinyl reissue features a newly revisited collage version of the artwork, plus a reproduced 11x11 insert, designed by Victor Krummenacher using original photos, lithograph prints, lyrics and leaflets.
