Up for sale is a beautiful, highly collectable original 1970 US true first pressing of The Spinners' sophomore Motown-era masterpiece, 2nd Time Around (V 405). Released on Motown's specialized V.I.P. Records imprint, this historic album features their definitive breakout smash hit "It's A Shame"—co-written and masterfully produced by Stevie Wonder himself.
Collector's Audio Profile: This copy is a genuine 1970 US first pressing, custom pressed via RCA for Motown, featuring the authentic machine-stamped "Z3RS" matrix codes and hand-etched VIPS identifiers in the deadwax. Unlike later compressed reissues, this original pressing delivers the warm, deep mid-range, full analog brass punch, and crisp vocal harmonies characteristic of the legendary Detroit Motown studio engineering.
This copy comes complete with its original, highly nostalgic vintage "The Motown Sound" illustrated company advertising inner sleeve.

Vinyl: VG+ — Visual assessment: The disc retains an exceptional factory mirror gloss and deep black luster on both sides. Grooves are highly clean under close inspection, showing only a minimum of ultra-faint cosmetic paper wisps from the inner sleeve. No deep scratches or structural flaws. Playback is smooth, dynamic, and clean.
