The demo
that got Chris his first record deal, which featured the following tracks:
Favorite Partner
Lover on a Rainy Day
Run To Me (original version)
Chris had to edit 16 bars out of Run to Me for the full album release in order to satisfy Bob Dylan's lawyers.
This is the original cover art from the single version of "Favorite Partner",
the big single from "My World - Welcome To It". Yeah, we said it was a picture
of Jim on the bio page but you should know if you've
been there already that Chris and Jim like to fool with people.
This
picture is of Chris and his son Michael and was featured on a fan-club only
release of the song "Fiction" from the album of the same name. Mike has since
become a formidable musician in his own right, and still looks at his dad with
the same skepticism.
And
here is the artwork for the single release of "Kauro-chan" from "The Long
Goodbye".
Missing from here is the "Jack Acid Society", The major label album Chris was working on before he walked away from his deal. Someday perhaps the lawyers will untangle everything and the album will be finished and released. It's been a long time though, so we're not holding our breath.
