	Dance Band On The Titanic New - LP - 9E-301 Sealed 1977 2LP Gatefold Original. Clean Cut Out Hole. “Who Would Have Figured, Listening To The Heart-On-His-Sleeve Sensibilities Of Heads & Tales In 1972, That Harry Chapin Would Or Could Ever Generate A Wry, Sly, Sardonic Double-LP Like This? The Diversity Of This Album Is Its Strong Point, The Core Of The Record Made Up Of Straightforward, Serious Songs, Most Notably "We Grew Up A Little Bit" And The Gorgeous Ballads "Mismatch" (Arguably Chapin's Prettiest Song) And "I Do It For You, Jane" (Of Which The Latter Could Have Been A Smash Done Countrypolitan Style In Nashville), And There's One Lean Vignette Into Traditional Music ("Bluesman"). But Those Are Surrounded By Some Of The Most Bittersweet Work Of His Career, Including The Title Track, "Mercenaries," And "Manhood," Not To Mention The Satirical, Phantasmagoric "There Only Was One Choice," A 14-Minute Conceptual Piece That Conflates A Bitter, Sardonic Look At The Music Business And The History Of The United States, All Looping Back To The Opener, "Dance Band On The Titanic." The Whole Album Is Dazzling In Its Range, From Full-Blown Orchestrated Numbers To Solo Acoustic-Style Tracks, And Moods Running From Wide-Eyed Innocence To Seething Anger And Frustration, All Of It Interesting And 95 Percent Of It Highly Entertaining As Well. As With Most Of Chapin's Work -- But Perhaps More So Throughout This Album -- One Gets The Sense Of An Artist Who Desperately Needed To Break Out Of The Boundaries Of Recording, Onto A Larger Canvas; On This Record, The Music Is So Effective That He Nearly Made It, Without Ever Actually Breaking Out To Another Format.” Bruce Eder, AMG. more

	Living Room Suite New - LP - 6E 142 Sealed 1978 Original. Cut Out Hole. more
	Living Room Suite Used - LP - 6E 142 1978 White Label Promo. Listening To Living Room Suite Today, You'd Never Know That It Marked The Commercial Nadir Of Harry Chapin's Career — The Songs Have Such Touching And Startling Intimacy, And Are So Beautifully Produced That It's Just A Damn Imposing Record, Just In The Listening. Coming At The Tail-End Of The Second Disco Boom, The Cresting Of Punk, And The Full Flourishing Of Power Pop, However, It Got Buried. When He Opened Up His Heart On "Jenny," It Was A Phenomenally Personal Moment, But That Wasn't The Kind Of Love Song That Was Selling In 1978; "Poor Damn Fool" Was A Wonderful Song As Well, With A Glorious Sound, But In Tone And Sound It Was A Million Miles From "My Sharona"; "Flowers Are Red" Was A Startling Ode To Non-Conformity, A Subject Much Too Serious For A Pop Record At The End Of The 1970s; And "Dancin' Boy" And "I Wonder What Would Happen To This World," With Their Bluesy And Gospel Sounds, Respectively, Were Even Farther From What Radio Stations Were Playing. Of Course, The Very Attributes That Made Living Room Suite Seem So Dated In 1978 That Neither Of Its Singles Charted Make It Seem Completely Timeless And Enduring Today, As A Body Of Music And A Personal Statement.
