Synopsis

Album Description

Two albums on one CD. Featuring 'Harry' (1969) and 'Nilsson Sings Newman' (1970). Bonus tracks, 'Waiting' and 'Snow'. Standard jewel case with slipcase. 2000 release. 20+ years before his 1994 death from a heart attack, American singer/ songwriter Harry Nilsson released several albums that did well in the charts, spawned some hit singles, got lots of critical acclaim and won the respect of his peers (including The Beatles, who were huge fans). However, Nilsson's back catalogue has never gotten the same just reward ...until now! BMG's Camden subsidiary in England has reissued all of Nilsson's best records for RCA, all digitally remastered with bonus tracks, the original cover art and specially packaged in standard jewel cases within full color slipcase covers.

CD Reviews

Great 2fer missing a couple of tracks from US CD issue

Wayne Klein | My Little Blue Window, USA | 10/09/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is actually a 2fer of Nilsson's Harry album and Nilsson Sings Newman. Both albums fit together really well (particularly since Harry was recorded just prior to NSN and closes with one of Randy's tunes). Nilsson Sings Newman offers a more textured less smooth production style which fits well with Newman's ironic wit. The only other artist besides Newman that could do justice to his material was Harry (and, at times, Harry actually could do Randy better than Randy).I'd stick with the domestic versions of both (Harry is available from DCC Compact Discs while NSN is available from Buddah)as both feature more bonus tracks, hence more bang for the buck. If you're on a budget this 2fer is a great choice."

"Of all the CDs I own, this is my favorite. The selections are extraordinarily original and Nilsson's voice has the tenor that fits them to perfection. The Rainmaker story is wonderfully chilling and can give you goose bumps, and The Puppy Song is a truly endearing story of friendship.
This is the only album of Nilsson's that contains these particular songs. I recommend it highly."
