The band’s second 1969 album, Contacts, is a replica of their debut, with more unsettling and voluntarily dissonant hypnotic harmonies and manic singing: similarly so, also the lyrics deal about sadder, depressive subjects (“But we don't have time for the little things / No, we don't have time for the little things, because / Life is full of important things / Life is full of necessary things / Life is full of big machines”).

“Confusion”, instead, is based over banjo picking and an apocalyptic coda. They subsequently disbanded because of a lawsuit against Pan Am Airlines about the album artwork, reformed and disbanded two more times: Simeon Coxe died in 2020 at age 82. -Simone Appolloni

PRE-ORDERS

PRE-ORDERS

Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS

Flying Nun only make products available to purchase when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
