Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). Cover looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing, slight discoloration with darker discoloration spots, and surface impressions (front/back). Inner-sleeve is generic white. Spine is easy-to-read with very mild-wear. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and a few divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Living Room Suite, by the American singer/songwriter Harry Chapin, peaked at #133 on Billboard 200. According to a review on allmusic.com, "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 ... 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. 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.
