2nd Time Around is a studio album recorded by the American R&B group The Spinners, released in October 1970 on Motown's V.I.P. label (their second overall). This is their only album with G. C. Cameron (who replaced Edgar Edwards from the previous album and was replaced by Philippé Wynne on their next album). This is also the group's last album made while they were under contract with Motown Records; by the time of their next album, they had signed at Atlantic Records.

History

The album includes the first of the group's string of 1970s' hits, the Stevie Wonder produced "It's a Shame", which was their first U.S. Pop top-twenty (and third R&B top-ten) hit, as well as most of the group's singles released between 1968-1971 (the exception being the original version of "Message From a Blackman" and their second hit, "We'll Have It Made", which was their last hit - and last single - released while they were under contract with Motown).

Also in 1973, the label released a second version of "It's a Shame"'s B-side, "Together We Can Make Such Sweet Music", which reached #91 on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop charts. The album was also the first of fourteen straight studio albums to make the Billboard 200, barely squeezing in at #199 on the charts (and their first R&B albums charter, entering the Top-fifty at #46).
