Michael Chapman's Fully Qualified Survivor and Rainmaker get reissued on vinyl!

 Two underground legends get reissued on Light In The Attic on 180 gram vinyl. Michael Chapman certainly fits the bill as an underground legend, his two first Harvest records had a significant influence at the time and were championed by John Peel, but never sold well. The first, Rainmaker, is a true classic. Chapman is more to the folk side of folk-rock, and inhabits the same world as Roy Harper did at the time, but Chapman is a killer guitar player than throws riffs out at whim and has a unique voice and songwriting prowess.

The second, and better, is Fully Qualified Survivor, more to the rock end of folk with the addition of the pre-Bowie Mick Ronson and more of a band feel, and the songwriting is if anything even better. The early "Tumbleweed Connection" Elton John surely listened to this record, as did Medle era Pink Floyd.

These are two lost classics that have been very deservedly brought back to life in great sounding reissues from A Light In The Attic, they are revelatory and a missing link that are well worth exploring.
