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. 

‘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 experimentationÖ 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
