Tim Hardin
The Homecoming Concert
Kamera Records KAM004 1981 12" 33rpm (UK)
>
This 1980 concert would be Hardin's last, as the singer, continually beset by drug and alcohol problems, died in December of that year. The site of the performance was Hardin's hometown of Eugene, OR, to which he had returned to participate in a TV documentary about his career. From the photo on the front, it appears that time had taken its toll on Hardin, who'd been living in intentional obscurity in England for several years. Amazingly, his voice sounds clearer and purer than it did on his earliest albums.
Before an appreciative hometown crowd, Hardin peforms solo, delivering powerful, affecting versions of songs from his first couple of recordings. In retrospect, his eulogistic "Tribute to Hank Williams" is eerily prophetic. The sadness in Hardin's voice on the piano ballad "Hang on to a Dream" is particularly poignant, but the entire disc is eminently rewarding. It shows that Hardin, who was at work on a new album at the time of his death, was the owner of a musical fire that was still burning brightly at that late date.

A Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure. The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing. This avoids the cancellation issue, but appears to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a few bucks less for ground.
