2nd Time Around (album)


2nd Time Around is a studio album recorded by American R&B group the Spinners, released in October 1970 on Motown's V.I.P. label. This is their only album with G. C. Cameron. This is also the group's last album made while they were under contract with Motown Records; by the time of their next album, they had signed at Atlantic Records.

History

The album includes the first of the group's string of 1970s' hits, the Stevie Wonder produced "It's a Shame", which was their first U.S. pop top-twenty hit, as well as most of the group's singles released between 1968 and 1971.
Also in 1973, the label released a second version of "It's a Shame"'s B-side, "Together We Can Make Such Sweet Music", which reached No. 91 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The album was the first of fourteen straight studio albums to make the Billboard pop albums chart, barely squeezing in at No. 199.
