‘A timeless and unique album that stands up to, and sounds completely different from, the very best of the progressive genre’ – Galactic Ramble

‘By the time Second Hand released this, their second album, the progressive elements were much stronger and the group went further with experimentation… There are plenty of high-energy rockers and long, wild organ solos’ – www.allmusic.com

‘Fully developed progressive compositions and all kinds of keyboards dominate. Often there are two or three different ones simultaneously, producing many very different textures… A very good record’ – The Tapestry Of Delights

Second Hand’s debut album, Reality, is widely acclaimed as one of the best psychedelic albums to have emerged from the UK in the late 1960s. follow-up, originally issued in April 1971, is a similar milestone in the progressive genre. Originally recorded as the soundtrack to an obscure underground movie, it’s a dark, dense and challenging masterwork combining uniquely experimental compositions with wild organ playing and complex rhythms. This is its definitive edition, remastered from original tapes and complete with a booklet offering rare photographs, detailed liner notes and an introduction from its producer, the legendary Vic Keary.
