Rupert Holmes- Pursuit Of Happiness-LP

Rupert Holmes’s 1978 album Pursuit Of Happiness offers a nuanced collection of 11 songs that balance thoughtful storytelling with melodic craftsmanship. Tracks like “Less Is More” and “Show Me Where It Says” highlight Holmes’s talent for blending lyrical wit with accessible arrangements, continuing the singer-songwriter tradition he honed through earlier work like Singles. Released on the Private Stock label, this album captures a moment where Holmes explores themes of introspection and human connection, all wrapped in a sound that invites close listening rather than background noise. This particular vinyl pressing from 1978 comes in very good plus condition, meaning the record is glossy and clean with only minor, faint surface marks that won’t interfere with playback. It’s a solid choice for those who appreciate a well-maintained copy of an album that sits comfortably between pop sensibility and thoughtful lyricism.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
