That doesn't mean I don't like the 1984 album. I love it! "One in a Million" is one of my favorite songs, ever, by anyone.

But the whole LP doesn't have the immediacy of 'In the Meantime.'

Didn't someone post once that Chris had had a short-lived romance during those years in England (with a schoolteacher) and that was what inspired ITM? Or am I just imagining that?

I agree with this. And I think you are correct about the short lived romance.
