MICHAEL CHAPMAN
WINDOW
\ UK - HARVEST RECORDS - SHVL 786
TOP COPY!
Scarce and sought after 1971 original first pressing BRITISH-Only HARVEST RECORDS first pressing vinyl in nice gatefold nude female gatefold cover...this was Michael Chapman's 4th album and the release just after his remarkable "Fully Qualified Survivor" ...filled with similar fantastic songs and extraordinary guitar playing, rewards repeated listens.
The original Harvest Records inner sleeve is included with many photos of classic prog Lp's
On this album Michael's full potential was reached. The mood of the album is quiet and reflective with beautifully mesmeric guitar backing in places. Once again the album was produced by Gus Dudgeon and Rick Kemp is among the contributors. The whole mood is shattered by the (almost surreal) final track apparently sung by the 'massed voices of the dean teagarden singers featuring the screaming skull, the bombay banger and arthur dogg'. Although Chapman's material occasionally appears introspective and even morose, the tracks are such superb examples of the best in their field that nothing, but nothing, should prevent you from listening good and hard to his music. Apart from swinging his way through acoustic guitar numbers, he has Mick Ronson on lead guitar, Rick Kemp on bass and Richie Dharma on drums to lend himself the necessary weight for stunning numbers. The tight solid sounds that these four guys get on the grittier stuff is nothing short of amazing. Mick Ronson uses his machinery like an expert veteran. At times they swing so well that one is reminded of the empathy that few groups apart from Cream have managed to get. It's incredibly difficult to convey the atmosphere that this guy manages to create in almost every one of his songs, his steady use of long, strong, strung-out melody lines delivered in an edgy laconic drawl is initially tedious but beautifully amusing once you get to the idea behind the form.
