Heads & Tales (album)

Heads & Tales is the first studio album by the American singer/songwriter Harry Chapin, released in 1972. The album contains Chapin's first hit, "Taxi." The album and single both charted successfully for over six months, with both selling over 1 million copies each.

Early LP pressings of Heads & Tales featured a die-cut front cover with a square hole in it, allowing the "cover" photo of Chapin (which is actually on an enclosed poster/lyric sheet) to be seen through the hole, creating a three-dimensional effect.

"Taxi" was released as a 45 rpm single, and charted at number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100.
