Wrecked Again followed Window, in 1972.
Again, it was a rather dark/mysterious album that was produced again by Gus Dudgeon and I personally see these two albums as part A-part B sequels. I guess other artists might have been tempted to release them as a double album – good thing he didn’t.

The entire albums is solid and brings all sides of Michael Chapman, but it’s the album closure that I like the most, Shuffleboat River Farewell.

We’ll later see this song again in his 1976’s Memphis album Savage Amusement.
