Second Time Round

Second Time Round

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1973 album including two bonus tracks. Their second LP, Second Time Round, further developed their unique musical stew of funk, soul, afro rhythms and Caribbean stylings, perhaps epitomized on the popular track 'Fug'. This reissue boasts two non-album single edits and new sleevenotes written with the cooperation with the band and John Schroeder. Cymande (pronounced sah-mahn-day) are a legendary funk group formed in 1971 in London by musicians from Guyana, Jamaica and Saint Vincent. Their name was derived from a Calypso word for dove, symbolizing peace and love. The band was signed by producer John Schroeder to his Alaska label in the UK. Cymande went on to release three albums in the early-to-mid 1970s.
