Camper Van Beethoven’s second album,\u003cem\u003e II \u0026amp; III\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally released in 1986, the follow up to Telephone Free Landslide Victory did much to develop an already iconoclastic Camper Van Beethoven idiom. \u003cem\u003eII \u0026amp; III\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe deluxe double CD set brings together the original \u003cem\u003eII \u0026amp; III\u003c\/em\u003e album with a 17 track live album of material from Camper Van Beethoven shows supporting REM on their Life’s Rich Pageant tour. This audio was mostly recorded at the Lincoln, Nebraska show from October 10th, 1986, but is supplemented with audio from other shows of the tour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cooking Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Teal LP","offer_id":51240344617238,"sku":"RMX-66590","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Deluxe 2CD","offer_id":51240344682774,"sku":"RMX-66591","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/659393886feb92f74b0e91233651b02a.jpg?v=1776946027","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/camper-van-beethoven-ii-iii-40th-anniversary-edition","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
