2nd Time Around is a studio album recorded by American R&B group the Spinners, released in October 1970 on Motown's V.I.P.

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.

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 and 1971 (the exception being the original version of "Message From a Black Man" 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.
