II & III - 40th Anniversary Edition (Teal Vinyl)
âDo not eat or drink anything past midnight prior to your appointment- NO FOOD, NO LIQUIDâ.
Non-sensical, un-user friendly, at times half finished. Camper Van Beethovenâs second album II & III saw the folk-punk of the bandâs 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 bandâs 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 (âSad Loversâ Waltzâ) to call-backs to the European folk instrumentals of the debut (âNo Krugerrands For Davidâ, â4 Year Planâ). Also featured is the bandâs bluegrass-Americana take on Sonic Youthâs âI Love Her All the Timeâ, feeding their appetite for cover songs.
This Limited Edition Teal Vinyl Reissue features a newly revisited collage version of the artwork plus a reproduced 11âx11â insert designed by Victor Krummenacher using original photos, lithograph prints, lyrics and leaflets.
