This six CD box - the first serious, multi-disc reappraisal of Chapin's work - presents the nine albums he issued from 1972 to 1978: Heads And Tales, Sniper And Other Love Songs, Short Stories, Verities And Balderdash, Portrait Gallery, Greatest Stories Live, On The Road To Kingdom Come, Dance Band On The Titanic, and Living Room Suite. After Elektra, Chapin signed with Boardwalk for a final album before dying tragically and prematurely in a car accident in 1981. With 4000-word notes, placing Chapin's career in context, and arguing for his elevation in the cultural hierarchy, by Record Collector contributor, Charles Donovan. Acoustic guitarist and singer/songwriter, Harry Chapin, who was born in New York, was a pioneer of the elaborate story-song, a style whose roots lay in folk and country music.
