"Please sir, I want some more"

Second Helpings.

We all want them from time to time, but sometimes Mr. Bumble just isn't accommodating.

This is a One and Done with a hint of second helpings thread.

A couple of examples...

Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe - ST

GTR - ST

3 - To the Power of Three

Each one had a single official studio release. I won't count Live follow up albums for obvious reasons.

However, each one did have an 'unofficial release' of demos that were meant for a second album. Whether the material was worthy of a second go can certainly be debated.

ABWH - We Make Believe

GTR - Nerotrend

3.2 - The Rules Have Changed (even though it was considered an 'official' release, It didn't really have the participation of all the original members...you know what I mean)

So what other bands had their first helping, went back for seconds, but were denied by the evil Mr. Bumble (record execs)?

Which is to say...they actually created more new material for a second album that never saw an official release.

2) Keats: Put together by producer Alan Parsons, this band notoriously broke up upon the completion of their only album without ever playing even one live gig. With keyboardist Pete Bardens from Camel and Alan Parsons Project veterans Colin Blunstone (vocals), Ian Bairnson (guitars), David Paton (bass), and Stuart Elliott (drums), the music was very similar to the early-1980s Project albums. The album, while far from a masterpiece, will always have a place in my heart in spite of a hideous album cover. One "lost" song did turn up on the remastered CD, but there were no other follow-ups.

3) Re: Wetton/Manzanera: One follow-up song was recorded two years after their only album. It was an instrumental called "Sphinx" and released under Phil's name on a various-artists album called Guitar Speak.
