The band's second LP was very strong; this time, most of the tunes are originals, with the exception of a cover of &Bald Headed Lena.& Joe Butler and Yanovsky are featured on some lead vocals, and the album includes two more hits, &You Didn't Have to Be So Nice& and &Didn't Want to Have to Do It.& Strangely enough, this has been the only Spoonful LP reissued on CD in the States. [The 2002 reissue includes instrumental versions of &Jug Band Music& and &Fishin' Blues,& demo versions of &Daydream& and &Didn't Want to Have to Do It,& an alternate version of &Night Owl Blues& and an extra track, &Big Noise From Speonk.&]
