Lynyrd Skynyrd - Second Helping - Analogue Productions 45rpm LP

Southern rock perfection. Lynyrd Skynyrd's 1974 sophomore album Second Helping followed the success of "Free Bird" and "Gimme Three Steps" and delivered their biggest hit of all — the irrepressible "Sweet Home Alabama," a swaggering answer to Neil Young that hit No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Backed by the mighty three-guitar attack of Allen Collins, Ed King, and Gary Rossington, Ronnie Van Zant turns in legendary performances on "Call Me the Breeze," "The Ballad of Curtis Loew," and "The Needle and the Spoon."

For this edition, Kevin Gray remastered the album at Cohearent Audio from the original analog tapes and cut it at 45 RPM, with lacquer plating by Gary Salstrom, pressed on dead-quiet 180-gram vinyl at QRP and housed in a heavy tip-on gatefold jacket.
