Matrix / Runout (Variant 5, Side A runout): ST-E-60774-A-DMM- ̷1̷ 2 1-3 MASTERDISK SP-CAN 96-7741-A After its release, critics praised the album for its overtly political focus, hailing it as popular music’s return to authentic artistry. But Tracy Chapman didn’t change the course of a Top 40 ecosystem in tune with the era’s glorification of wealth and greed. Rather, the album was produced in isolation from popular music, and in defiance of it. She wasn’t a herald of change within the industry so much as she was an example of the innovation to be found outside of it. In pop music at the time, there was no archetype with which to classify the kind of artist Chapman was. And so, as she shrunk away from the spotlight, so did the gritty environment that contextualized her and her work. Alone on that massive stage, guitar in hand, she allowed the echoing mic and screaming crowd to amplify the quiet of the song. And as she sang with that magnetic calm, she built an atmosphere as intimate as each listener’s childhood bedroom. “Behind the Wall” was the second of what was supposed to be a three-song set. But then, as the legend goes, serendipity gave the world another glimpse of this commanding artist. Just before Stevie Wonder was supposed to perform, a piece of his sound equipment went missing, and he refused to go on stage. Chapman agreed to take his place. It was in that surprise second set that she played “Fast Car.” Matrix / Runout (Runout side A, variant 13): R/S Alsdorf 960774-1-A MASTERDISK SP-GER ST-E-60774-A-DMM-2 1-2Matrix / Runout (Runout side A, variant 5): R/S Alsdorf 960774-1-A2 9 IV ST-E-60774-A-DMM-1 SP-3-5 MASTERDISK Matrix / Runout (Runout side A, variant 2): R/S Alsdorf 960774-1-A2 7 MASTERDISK SP-GER IV ST-E-60774-A-DMM-2 SP 3-5 LT7 Matrix / Runout (Runout side B, variant 10): R/S Alsdorf 960774-1-BXXX SP-GER 92 MASTERDISK ST-E60774-B-DMM-2
