Like the knockout Volume 2 CD, this obviously has Michael Chapman's full authority for release, as he has once again provided some of the photos for the insert, so no clandestine, crafty, record company releases behind his back here.
With 16 tracks and just over 73 minutes playing time, we most certainly get a lot of music for our money. The first 4 tracks are from studios in Hull in 1966. 5 through to 7 are from The Cellar Club in Southampton in 1969. 8 through to 12 are from a Southampton University concert in 1971, and 13 to 16 from the Hull studios again, but this time circa 1980.
If you are coinsidering dipping a toe into Michael Chapman's music, this collection of tracks and its accompanying Volume 2 are worthy additions, not only for the rarity value of the tracks, but for their placement in Chapman's now long and Iconic history. Grab them whilst you can, they are superb.

MC - the first fifteen years
30 Aug 2000
Format:Audio CD
Most people consider Michael Chapman's albums from the first half of the seventies as his best work, so there must be some humor in the title Growing Pains, which provides an overview of the first fifteen years (1966-1980) of his musical career. The sixteen tracks are divided evenly in studio and live tracks and all tracks of this nearly 74-minute cd haven't been available before, neither on vinyl nor on cd. The first four studio tracks from Fairview, Hull predate his first official album Rainmaker at least two years, the last four tracks are from 1980, but for me they are much more interesting to hear than his 1980-album Looking for Eleven, although there's a distinct move to pop to be heard here also. The live recordings are from 1969 and 1971 and include MC-classics like It Didn't Work Out, Wrecked Again, Naked ladies & Electric Ragtime and a beautiful interpretation of Tim Hardin's Reason to Believe. There's also an almost 15-minute version of A Scholarly Man. The collection shows the development of MC in his most interesting years. It's a safe investment to get to know this excellent guitar player and singer, as it is all material that wasn't published before, and fits nicely besides BBC Sessions 69-75, a magnificent live-set. At last the interest in Michael Chapman seems te be growing and this record could do a good job in making it grow faster. Highly recommended and file under whatever you want to.
excellent recordings

i haven't heard chapman in years, yup, not since the 70s, so i thought i would take a chance on this cd. they're early recordings, mostly solo, mostly live. i was very surprised at how good the performances were and the great sound quality. if you like chapman's work, this is a worthy cd to own. if you're not sure, it's a good place to start. i see there are a lot of used copies, cheap. not too sure why, as this is some good stuff. there is also a volume 2 out that is equally as good.
