NEW LP
New sealed copy. 2024 reissue.
Released in April 1988, Tracy Chapman is the landmark debut from the American singer-songwriter that brought acoustic storytelling back into the mainstream. Anchored by timeless tracks like "Fast Car" and "Talkin’ 'bout a Revolution", the album combined stark, intimate production with Chapman’s piercing voice and socially conscious lyrics.
Initially passed over by several producers, the album was ultimately shaped by David Kershenbaum, who embraced its stripped-back aesthetic. The result was a bold and resonant collection of songs that stood out in an era dominated by glossy pop and hair metal.
The album reached number one on the Billboard 200, earned multi-platinum certifications, and has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. In April 2025, it was inducted into the National Recording Registry, recognized as culturally and historically significant.
