Michael Chapman - Fully Qualified Survivor (CD 1997)

This is without a doubt the finest album ever recorded, by Chapman or anyone else. Michael's distinctive, percussive acoustic is complimented by Mick Ronson's electric and Rick Kemp's huge bass sound. Some of Michael's finest writing is here also, the huge Aviator a stream of consciousness exploration of ecological themes, paranoia and human nature, the more intimate Rabbit Hills with beautiful guitar harmonics and percussion. Kodak Ghosts is a anthem, a classic melancholic ballad with superb guitar and bass.

Anyone with a liking for singer songwriter material, virtoso guitar playing and classic late 60s early 70s sounds should check this out. Most importantly check out his later material and see him live
