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 \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.    1\/4' \/ 15 IPS Dolby A analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe    Numbered 180g 33RPM Vinyl LP  LIMITED EDITION OF 3,000    Track List  Side One  Cat's in the Cradle  I Wanna Learn a Love Song  Shooting Star  30,000 Pounds of Bananas  She Sings Songs Without Words    Side Two  What Made America Famous?
