Living Room Suite is the eighth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Harry Chapin, released in 1978. [5]
The album peaked at No. 133 on the Billboard 200. [6]
The album was produced by Chuck Plotkin. Chapin and his label were unhappy with the album, with Chapin going back to the studio to rerecord a few of the songs after the album had been released. [7]
Record Collector wrote that "musically, Harry occasionally steps out of his folk-friendly comfort zone, serving up some delicious blue-eyed soul on 'It Seems You Only Love Me When It Rains'." [8]
