Rupert Holmes - Full Circle (1981) [1991, Japan]

His fans didn’t know it at the time, but Holmes did indeed come full circle with 1981’s Elektra LP, and it would turn out to be his last word in pop/rock songwriting for over a decade. Holmes tells of being encouraged to return to an orchestrated style for this offering, and so “The End” (reaching #31 on the AC chart) does just that. “Loved by the One You Love,” like the previous album’s “Blackjack,” stalled at #103 on the pop chart, despite having the same infectious pop quality as “Him” or “Escape.” A theme of romance permeated the album, and the open-hearted “One Born Every Minute” (one love, not one sucker, contrary to P.T. Barnum’s belief) remains a favorite of its songwriter. “The End” concludes with “Happily ever after the story’s done/We’ve begun/And we start/At the end.” And so, after Full Circle, Rupert Holmes turned his attention first to the Broadway stage, where he picked up 1986 Tony Awards for both Best Book and Best Score of a Musical for his first effort, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. (The original cast recording of Drood, issued on CD twice, is a highly-prized and hard-to-find collectible in need of a new reissue, preferably as a two-disc set. Both the original Polydor CD and Varese reissue have different track listings as a result of Holmes’ innovative idea of having the audience decide the musical’s ending, necessitating a number of unique song endings!) Drood led to a career as a Broadway playwright, a television screenwriter and a mystery novelist. Holmes didn’t abandon music altogether; his second (and highly recommended) novel, Swing!, initially came with a delicious CD of songs that doubled as clues to solving the mystery.
