Nilsson Schmilsson

by: Harry Nilsson

Release Date August 12, 2000
This being Harry Nilsson's most popular album (garnering three major hits), is Harry's most entertaining album. Every song is upbeat containing romantic, rock, silly and torch songs filling your ears. "Down" pushes the envelope of reckless rythym and blues abandon, while "Jump Into The Fire" showcases the same frantic voice working a drum/bass line that never lets up. "Without You" is his most known song, a true tear-jerker and "Coconut" will make you laugh or drive you nuts. Finishing off with the romantic "I'll Never Leave You", Harry Nilsson pulls on your heart strings. Richard Perry did a marvelous job of production; probably one of his best and for the perfect voice.

A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night

by: Harry Nilsson

Release Date October 12, 2002
A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night
This album was released in 1973, many years before albums of pop standards by people like Michael Buble and Robbie Williams became popular.
As such some people didn't know what to make of it at the time, and it was only modestly successful but 35 years on it still sounds timeless.
This has to be one of the most relaxing albums ever made along with John Martyn's Solid Air, and is definitely one to play late at night when one is in a contemplative mood, and this release also includes the outtakes that were released 15 years later
as A Touch More Schmilsson In The Night.
These outtakes are especially welcome as 'A Touch More' has long been out of print and is now very hard ... Read More:

The Point: Remastered

by: Harry Nilsson

Release Date December 02, 2002
I still have my LP of The Point but like other reviewers I have great memories of the brilliant classic cartoon and would be thrilled to have the opportunity to see it again, or better still, to buy it.
I dreamed I was in The Land of the Point. I asked for the DVD in a shop. The manager said to me "You're the third custome today that I've told that stocking that DVD would be pointless because there is no demand for it."

Greatest Hits

by: Harry Nilsson

Release Date April 29, 2002
Although his two biggest and most famous hits (Everybody's talking, Without you) are by other songwriters, Nilsson (born Harry Nelson) wrote a number of songs that became successful for others.

The Yardbirds were the first major act to record one of Nilsson's songs (Ten little Indians) but Nilsson didn't give up his day job (at a bank) until he heard another of his songs (Cuddly toy) on the radio, performed by the Monkees. More recordings followed including Story of rock'n'roll (Turtles), Without her (Blood sweat and tears) and - most important of all - One (Three Dog Night), which became a huge American hit.

Nilsson finally got his break as a recording artist with Everybody's talking, a cover of a Fred Neil Song that was adopted ... Read More:

A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night [Us Import]

by: Harry Nilsson

Release Date May 23, 2006
I'm surprised to see that nobody has submitted a review for this album, perhaps younger people may feel the songs on this album are a bit dated? I first listened to this album when it was released in 1973, I was then 24 years old, so age doesn't really matter, I thought it was brilliant then & having now just bought & listened again to the CD, it hasn't lost any of its appeal. These are classic standards that lot's of people will sing along with even if they think they didn't know them, this album is the original major late night chill out album with your bottle(s) of wine. It now contains all the outakes previously unissued along with a very informative inlay booklet which gives a ton of information about the creation of this classic album. A ... Read More:

Everybody's Talkin': the Very Best of Harry Nilsson

by: Harry Nilsson

Release Date April 05, 1997
Whether writing great songs, or simply doing a cover of someone else's masterpieces, Nilsson was up there with the best of them.

He had such a romantic and melodic touch; you often melt away with the sheer beauty of some of his deliveries.

"All I Think About Is You", "Moonbeam Song", "Blanket For A Sail".......the list is endless, and they're all here on this wonderful collection.

This perfectly squares the circle when you add it to his other completely different triumph "As Time Goes By".

Get both albums. Forget the talking and start the listening!

Harry / Nilsson Sings Newman [Two Album Set]

by: Harry Nilsson

Release Date August 12, 2000
There's never been anyone in rock and pop remotely like the late great Harry Nilsson (though his old pal Jimmy Webb might share a few resemblances). Here we have Harry's two finest albums one one value for money disc: 1969's 'Harry' is full of great, idiosyncratic lyrics, matched with sunshiney, though never facile, melodies. 1970's 'Nilsson meets Newman' is nothing less than the meeting and audio marriage of two loveably quirky talents, who seemed made for each other.

Nothing more need be said: if you've never heard Nilsson before (or are only familiar with him via the ubiquitous 'Without You'), this is an ideal introduction.

As Time Goes By: the Complete Schmilsson in the Night

by: Harry Nilsson

Release Date September 28, 1996
My parents introduced me to Harry Nilsson and his music when I was very young. Their copy of 'A Touch of Schmillson in the Night' swiftly became one of my favourite pieces of vinyl that they owned. And as I got older this wonderful romantic album has been a mainstay of my record collection.

This version is, as the title suggests, the complete recordings from the sessions that became 'A Touch of Schmilsson...'. It has a rich collection of classic songs from the 20's, 30's and 40's from most of the giants of song writing from that era. Arguably the greatest songwriters of all time, people like Gershwin, Porter and Berlin. The arrangements are sublime with the pieces flowing from one into the other using a couple of tunes as bridges to lead us from ... Read More:

Pandemonium Shadow Show/Aerial Pandemonium Ballet

by: Harry Nilsson

Release Date August 12, 2000
Harry Nilsson,s debut album "Pandemonium Shadow Show" was released in 1967 on RCA ,the same year as The Beatles "Sgt Pepper" - a great album though a tad over rated( "Pandemonium Shadow Show " even includes a cover of "She's Leaving Home", recorded only ten days after The Beatles album was released )As if to prove that studio sorcery wasn't just the province of the fab four and their producer, RCA engineer Dick Bogert was able to assist Nilsson,s more creative ideas by syncing two four track machines together to in effect create an eight track recording system.
That's the thing about "Pandemonium", it's so chock full of all the ideas and musical influences that Nilsson had assimilated over the years that's it's some what daunting to listen to at first so ... Read More:
