II (brown)

Undoubtedly the rarest item in Tasavallan Presidentti's discography is the 2nd album. Released by EMI Sweden in 1971, the album followed hot on the heels of the first, also untitled album which came out on Love Records in late 1969. The band returned to Love Records for 1972's classic album Lambertland, with an updated lineup, and the Swedish album remained an oddity which wasn't reissued in any format until 30 years later when it appeared on CD. The Svart reissue of this criminally underrated early prog rock gem comes wrapped in a gatefold jacket, which features all lyrics, liner notes and unseen photos.
