    I don't know of any for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if
    there was. I've been hearing "Taxi" an inordinate number of
    times on the radio lately.

    	That's what me think of it (he's one of those artists I enjoy
    listening to, but whose name never comes to mind when I'm browsing
    for purchase material) and ask ...

829.3I wish!MEMV02::SNYDERWed Jul 29 1987 13:208
    
    I don't think he's out on CD yet.  If he is, I'd have found it
    by now!
    
    I've been looking for several months.  If anyone does happen to
    see one, please post it here!
    
    
829.4I've been looking too!VENOM::WATERSThe Legend of the LakesFri Jul 31 1987 08:4111
    I'm going to check out a store tonight that may possibly have 
    something....so I'm told!  I'll keep you posted.

    For those of you who are not to familar with Harry's albums
    Legends of the Lost and Found is a super album.
    
    And so is his live Album...The Best of!
829.5I'll ask if I get the chanceCRVAX1::KAPLOWsixteen bit paleontologistFri Jul 31 1987 13:129
        I'll be seeing his brother Tom tonight. If I get a chance to ask
        him (and reply here, tomorrow morning I leave on vacation), I'll
        let you know. "Greatest Stories Live" would be my first choice,
        especially if it fits on (and is priced as) 1 CD.
        
        For anyone who never caught Tom opening for or performing with
        Harry, go see him if you ever get the chance. He may not put quite
        as much into each song (who could), but his voice is MUCH better
        than Harry's ever was. Live beats CD any day!
829.6End of the yearCRVAX1::KAPLOWsixteen bit paleontologistSat Aug 01 1987 02:293
        Tom said that the rights to all of Harry's albums except the last
        are still owned by Electra. He expects some of them to be
        available on CD by the end of the year.
829.7Anyone have contacts in Elektra?LESLIE::MISTERSat Oct 31 1987 04:321
    It's November... how near to the end of year?
829.8Would groveling or bribes work?NCADC1::PEREZPeople are Hell -- Sartre'Sat Oct 31 1987 22:157
    Bring 'em on, I liked him too.
    
    I went to several HC concerts, and have almost all his albums. 
    I'd love to find him on CD.
    
    waiting patiently,

829.9Now AvailableIPG::MORGANFri Dec 04 1987 05:507
    I am witing this ffrom the U.K.
    
    However an informed source on the American side of the pond tells
    me that Heads & Tales and Greatest Stories Live are now available
    on CD in the U.S.A.

829.10Heads it is!STAR06::SELBYFri Dec 04 1987 17:067
    
    
    I have seend Heads and Tails here in Atlanta for $9.99.  
    
    Haven't picked it up yet.

829.11Heads and Tails - you win!LESLIE::LESLIEAndy, WG5 Leader, CSSE OSI ProgramSun Dec 06 1987 12:472
    Yup, I saw it at Manchester CD (in New Hampster) for $8.99 last
    Sunday (29th Nov).
829.12MEMV03::SNYDERTue Dec 08 1987 12:074
    I just picked up Heads and Tales, but haven't been home to listen
    to it yet.
    
    I still haven't seen Greatest Stories Live yet.  Is it out?
829.13I know 2 are out!MEMV01::SNYDERThu Dec 10 1987 06:4613
    
    Well, Harry is definately out now!  I have now picked up both
    Heads and Tales, and Remember When the Music (which was originally
    released as "Sequel" on LP).
    
    They are the only 2 I have seen, I'm still looking to see if 
    Greatest Stories Live is out yet.
    
    As far as the sound quality, I'm pleased with both discs.  They
    are, of course, AAD, but the recording doesn't interfere with
    the enjoyment of the music.

829.14"The Final Concert" -- videoCASEE::CLARKWard ClarkThu Dec 10 1987 17:125
    Of course, there's the LV (laser video) disc of "Harry Chapin: The
    Final Concert".  It's been out for several years and is a wonderful
    remembrance of Harry performing. 

    -- Ward   (HC fan since 'Heads and Tails')
829.15And then there were 3...MEMV01::SNYDERMon Feb 08 1988 11:3813
    
    I finally found "Greatest Stories Live"....well, not quite "found",
    I had to custom-order it from a record store, but they got it in
    about a week.  
    
    They did squeeze it onto one disk (I paid $12.99), but dropped two
    songs to do so.  One was "She was almost seventeen" or something
    like that, I can't remember what the other song was.
    
    So, I now have 3 Harry disks.  What could be better?  Of the 3,
    Greatest Stories Live has the best sound.  Very good.

    I found it also!  I paid $17.00 at the Pheasant Lane Mall...Boy
    does that piss me off!  I couldn't find it any place else!  So whenever
    I heard it was available....well lets just say I needed a Harry
    FIX in a bad way!  I have the three that are released and I think
    they all sound great.  I can't wait till Living Room Suite is released
    along with Legends of the Lost and Found...GREAT ALBUM! 
    I really don't care for this business of them removing songs from
    the cd to fit the double album sets on one cd.  When the Legend
    album is released I hope they either have it all on one cd or put
    it on two.  Post it here if anyone sees it!

829.18Whats Not ThereIPG::MORGANNo Maam, We're MusiciansMon Feb 22 1988 15:417
    Could someone please tell me the two tracks cut from the CD.
    
    I think I'm right in saying that one is 'She is only Seventeen'.

The other song is "Love is just another Word".  Both titles are listed, in
very small print, on the back of the box along with the reason: no room.
I think the time for all the other songs comes to 70 minutes plus some 
unknown number of seconds.

829.20Got mine for 15.99 - 10% in Merrimack, NHRSTS32::DBMILLERCecil B D'Miller, the EsotericSat Mar 05 1988 19:035
    My player said 70:38 as for the how long the Greatest Hits CD lasts.
    
    I do wish they hadn't cut "She is always Seventeen".  Harry, it s*cks!
