The 1974 Folk-Rock Album That Impacted Generations: Harry Chapin's Verities & Balderdash Features the Ageless 'Cat's in the Cradle,' Personal Narratives, and Gorgeous ArrangementsHear the Singer-Songwriter's Most Successful Record in Audiophile Sound for the First Time on Vinyl: Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM LP Is Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered CopiesHow enduring is the signature song from Harry Chapin's Verities & Balderdash? So timeless that it became the subject of a 2025 documentary in which artists from multiple generations weigh in on it's impact on their lives and craft. 'Cat's in the Cradle' remains the main event on the singer-songwriter's 1974 album. Yet the legendary opening track also serves as a guidepost for the bold personal and social narratives that follow - not to mention the gorgeous folk-rock arrangements. As much of a singer as a storyteller, Chapin observes everything from the polarization of the nation to changes in moral standards and cultural priorities.Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, housed in a Stoughton jacket, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM LP of Verities & Balderdash presents Chapin's fourth full-length in audiophile quality for the first time on vinyl. Captured during a golden era for sonics and production, the Top 5 effort features remarkable tonal balance and organic naturalism. Those valued aspects come into focus on this reissue, which plays with dead-quiet surfaces and a low noise floor. The newfound clarity, openness, and imaging underscore the lasting appeal of Chapin's tender deliveries and soulful timbre - as well as the ageless wisdom of his words.1/4' / 15 IPS Dolby A analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to latheNumbered 180g 33RPM Vinyl LPLIMITED EDITION OF 3,000Track ListSide OneCat's in the CradleI Wanna Learn a Love SongShooting Star30,000 Pounds of BananasShe Sings Songs Without WordsSide TwoWhat Made America Famous?VacancyHalfway to HeavenSix String Orchestra
