Sniper and Other Love Songs
Sniper & Other Love Songs 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 previ-
ously unreleased out-takes.
The song "Circle" was a major hit for The New Seek-
ers 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.
