About this product
“Do not eat or drink anything past midnight prior to your appointment- NO FOOD, NO LIQUID”.
Non-sensical, un-user friendly, at times half finished. Camper Van Beethoven’s second album II & III saw the folk-punk of the band’s debut LP morphing into an even wider melting pot of stylistic influences and (un)ironic contradictions, all rolled up into a coherently incoherent collection of some of the band’s most defining songs.
Originally released in 1986, the follow up to Telephone Free Landslide Victory did much to develop an already singular Camper Van Beethoven idiom. II & III ranges from alt-country ballads (“Sad Lovers’ Waltz”) to call-backs to the European folk instrumentals of the debut (“No Krugerrands For David”, “4 Year Plan”). Also featured is the band’s bluegrass-Americana take on Sonic Youth’s “I Love Her All the Time”, feeding their appetite for cover songs.
This Limited Edition Teal Vinyl Reissue features a newly revisited collage version of the artwork plus a reproduced 11”x11” insert designed by Victor Krummenacher using original photos, lithograph prints, lyrics and leaflets.
