Shawn Phillips- Second Contribution-LP

Shawn Phillips – Second Contribution

Second Contribution placed Shawn Phillips four albums into his studio catalog in 1971, pairing folk-rock songwriting with a more expansive album-side structure. The long-titled opening track is also among Phillips’ most recognized songs, giving this Shawn Phillips album extra pull beyond its early-’70s singer-songwriter setting. The record also benefits from notable contributors including Paul Buckmaster on keyboards and orchestral arrangements, Jim Cregan on guitar, and Chris Wood. At under $15, this is an affordable 1971 Shawn Phillips Second Contribution vinyl pressing with worthwhile album context. The vinyl is graded VG+, a solid used grade with a few light lines, sleeve marks, or small scuffs expected, but not the kind of visual wear that should overwhelm the music.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
