Sniper and Other Love Songs is the second studio album by the American singer/songwriter Harry Chapin, released in 1972. The album’s title song is a vaguely fictionalised account of Charles Whitman’s shootings from the University of Texas at Austin Main Building clocktower in August 1966. In 2004 it was released as a double CD package with “Heads and Tales” featuring several previously unreleased out-takes. The song “Circle” was a major hit for The New Seekers and became known as the Chapin Anthem. “Sunday Morning Sunshine” did manage to crack the Billboard Hot 100. A live version of “Better Place To Be” charted in 1976. Read on...
