In 1973-74 TMOQ 'traded hands' so to speak. The
resulting
company is referred to by collectors as TMQ-2. The new administration
issued
in several changes, the most easily recognizable being a new logo. Out
was the side view of a pig, and in was 'Pig Daddy' aka
'Smokin'
Pig'. This was a cartoon pig that would serve not only TMQ-2 during the
70's; but also the German Swingin' Pig Label up through the 90's.

In the
transition from TMQ to TMQ-2 there were lots of packaging anomalies.
In trying to 'Be their own company' TMQ-2 came up with a new logo, new
inserts, new matrices, and did away with the well known rubber stamp
cover.
However, there was still product lying around that they didn't want to
go to waste. Because of this there is a near endless array of hybrid
packages
on early TMOQ-2 product. There is also a version of this LP
released
in the GWW cover. After releasing
all
remaining stock they first started adding an 'S-107' ref.# to the
inserts.
It is unclear if this was a mistake that should have been S-017 in
reference
to the newly changed matrix.
Eventually they would use their own matrix '1818' Surprisingly,
there are many more hybrid packages of this release then there are
complete
full original TMQ-2 packages. In 1979 the disc was released as part of
a two LP set entitled 'Tough Songs'.
In 1983 a re-issue series was
released.
