Contact is the second album by Silver Apples. The cover and inner artwork generated a lawsuit from Pan Am Airlines. The cover features the Silver Apples in a plane cockpit with drug paraphernalia and the inner artwork showed the band amongst a plane wreckage playing banjos. Pan-Am was quite unhappy about it.^[2][3]

The album was re-released in 1997 by MCA Records compiled with the band's first album Silver Apples. It was also re-released on compact disc and vinyl in 2003 by Radioactive Records in the UK.
