For The Love Of Harry

2012 Edition! An alternate Nilsson universe. 67 glorious outtakes, demos and hidden rarities... all the bonus tracks from Nilsson's officially released CDs. We've finally reorganized these collections to include material issued in the last few years on Japanese imports - some from upgraded 2007 sources - along with a couple of odds and ends that shouldn't be left out. The three sets boast some stunning, previously unreleased tunes ("Wasting My Time"), nifty alternate versions ("Gotta Get Up," three years before Nilsson Schmilsson), foreign versions of "Without You" and obscure non-LP covers, like John Lennon's "Isolation." A Little Touch Of Schmilsson In The Night's outtakes come from the 1973 LP's little known follow-up, 1988's A Touch More Schmilsson In The Night (which is now incorporated into reissues of ALTOSITN). Harry also soundtracked a Gene Wilder composition - "Ain't It Kind Of Wonderful" (from the brilliant World's Greatest Lover) in the same 'standards' vein. There are also intimate Nilsson Sings Newman outtakes, piano demos for much of Nilsson Schmilsson and two tracks thought to be slated for Nilsson's last, unreleased album. The overall quality is much improved and the collection seems complete (if not, let us know). So, if you got these 3 years ago, you're advised to get 'em again. A number of folks have contributed to this collection over the years, including Paul Rosen, John Krane and Gale From France. Many thanks. Since we've upgraded and combined these posts, we've lost our old comments, sorry. Get 1-3 HERE.
