    Harry Chapin _Gold_ came out a few days ago.  It is a double disk.
    I'm not sure where the songs came from, but it seems to be a typical
    greatest hits.
    
    A disk called Harry Chapin _Storyteller_ is also due out about now.

    Thanks Scott!
    
    I'm wondering if possibly they renamed the Legend of the Lost And
    Found album.
    
    I'll call around town to see what I can find out.
    
    I'm not familar with the Storyteller either.

    All I know is that LotL&F and _Gold_ both have _Corey's Coming_
    on them.

    RE: .4
    
     Nice collection. It puzzles me no end, though, that "Sequel" doesn't
    follow "Taxi" in the selection order. I can't listen to one without
    the other.....

    Rich, is this gold album available locally (i.e. Reading).
    
    From the other richard sitting below you.

    Hello,
    
    I'm a Harry Chapin buff and so far I have been able to get the
    following.
    
    
    Remember When The Music.
    Greastest Stories
    Heads and Tales
    The Gold metal Collection.
    
    All of them are  excellent.  The Gold Metal I purchased in Nashua
    NH at a place call Nashua Compact.
    
    There's also a Mini-CD which has the "Remeber When The Music" song
    on it, but I wasn't interested in that one.

    I finally got the Gold Medal Collection!  It's the balls!
    I've seen Harry in concert a number of times so I really enjoy
    the tracks they have of him talking about what he believed in.
    the track, My Grandfather, is HEAVY DUTY!!

    RE.7  I also have the four you have.  
          keep me posted as soon as you hear of any more releases.
          When I get a moment I'm going to write to the Chapinfo
          address I have to find out what is happening.  I'll post
          it here when I get some info!

    I received a letter from Sandy Chapin Yesterday, November 17, 1988.
    She sent me a copy of the program from Carnegie Hall from the night
    of December 7, (Harry's birthday) 1987.  It was the night that Sandy
    was given the Gold Medal Award for Harry's work to bring an end
    to world hunger.  I asked about the Legends of the Lost and Found
    release but she didn't respond to that particular question.  She
    did tell me that there was a new release this month.  Its is called
    the Last Protest Singer.  I was lucky enough to call around and
    find two copies of it at Rocket Records in Nashua.  I can't wait
    to hear it.  It contains 11 of the 16 songs Harry was working on
    at the time of his tragic death.  
    
    I am still waiting to hear from WHY (World Hunger Year).  I will
    be happy to make copies of the list of items Sandy sent me that
    can be order through The Chapin Office.  There are a list of Harry
    Chapin Collectibles.  Tee shirts, poetry book and other items.
    
    I guess I'll just have to wait for the Legends of the Lost and Found
    a little longer.

    Thanks for this update.  I hope I can get my hands on the Last Protest
    Singer cd.  Sounds great.
    
    Shawn

    
    Does anyone know whether there are any plans for a CD release of
    Verities & Balderdash?  It would've been 1st on my list (I *just* got a
    CD player!), but it doesn't seem to exist!

    The only ones available to date are:
    
    					Heads and Tales
         				Remember When the Music (Sequel)
    			                (Song also Avail. on 3" disc)   
                        		Greatest Stories Live
    					Gold Medal Collection
    					Last Protest Singer (new release)
                                                                     
    Thats it for right now Beverly.  I we can do is hope that with the
    Holidays coming up they will release more of Harry's music on CD.
    
    I gave a quick listen to Harry's, Last Protest Singer.  It is typical
    Harry....GREAT!  The last song on the track could possibly become
    my favorite.  I believe the title is, You are the Only Light...It
    is great....I'll bet his wife has a tough time listening to this
    particular song.

    I have to agree with you John, the Last Protest Singer is great.
    I picked it up on the way to work and I am listening to it now.
    I haven't gotten to the last song yet.
    
    BTW, you were close, it called 'You Own the Only Light'
    
    I can't seem to bring myself to buy the 3" cd.  But I have all the
    rest and keeping an eye open for more.
    
    Shawn

    I'm not going to buy the 3" cd!  I own two Springsteen 3" cd's and
    I find I don't bother listening to them much...due to the short
    play time.

    Another vote for The Last Protest Singer, this time from the U.K.
    
    I'm lucky enough to have been sent it by post as no HC Cd's are
    available this side of the water. 
    
    It's a 'real' Chapin collection of music and , I assume, must have
    been close to release at the time of his death.

    I'm buying my first Chapin CD to add to my (small) CD collection.
    Since I've heard several of the songs from Live on the radio; I
    was leaning towards getting it over Gold Medal Collection.
    
    If you guys had 1 choice (for the time being due to funds); which
    one would you get first?  Greatest Hits Live or Gold medal Collection?
    
    Thanks
    Mark
