Sniper and Other Love Songs

This was Harry's second album. The tape is actually quite rare as many of the original copies were destroyed in a warehouse fire. This album was released on CD by Wounded Bird Records on 11 June 2002 to delight of many Chapin devotees.  

Harry wanted this album to be a double album but the record company won out. There are supposed to be tapes that have the unreleased material for the second album in existence. Someday they will hopefully be released. 

The working title for this album was Sweet City Suite.
