So timeless that it became the subject of a 2025 documentary in which artists from multiple generations weigh in on its 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.\n\nSourced 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 \u0026amp; 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.\n\n1\/4\" \/ 15 IPS Dolby A analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe\n\nNumbered 180g 33RPM Vinyl LP\nLIMITED EDITION OF 3,000\n\nTrack List\nSide One\nCat's in the Cradle\nI Wanna Learn a Love Song\nShooting Star\n30,000 Pounds of Bananas\nShe Sings Songs Without Words\n\nSide Two\nWhat Made America Famous?\nVacancy\nHalfway to Heaven\nSix String Orchestra","brand":"Harry Chapin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63801343541625,"sku":"821797161411","price":7.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/noirvinyl.com\/products\/verities-balderdash-lp-180-gram-33rpm-audiophile-vinyl-numbered-to-3000","provider":"NOIR VINYL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
