Artist:  Camper Van Beethoven

Title:  II & III

Date:  1986

Label:  Pitch A Tent Records

Notes:   On this "Rough Trade/Pitch-a-Tent" release the boys continue their journey from the pretty "Sad Lover's Waltz", through the "Bad Trip" and ending with their anthem for the day "No More Bullshit".  As always the instrumentation is a gas as are the vocals/lyrics.   They may not be in their collective right mind some of the time, but the glimpses of musical madness always gets your attention.  A simple motif for this cover in a tranquil green.  There are no liners notes as to photo credits etc...
