The live action version of Popeye sees the light in 1980. It's the first movie for Robin Williams. Although Robin is very populair in 1980 (Mork) nobody went to the theater to watch the movie. The original soundtrack (upload later...) isn't a succes either. Not that odd if you keep in mind that the songs were sung by the actors Robin Williams, Shelly Duval en Paul L Smith and not by their writer Harry Nilsson.
Harry did record demosongs for the actors and those can be found on this bootlegalbum. This album is quite good and could have made a good Nilsson album.
Tracks:
01. I Yam What I Yam 02. He Needs Me 03. Swee' Pea's Lullaby 04. Din' We 05. Sweethaven 06. Blow Me Down 07. Sailin' 08. It's Not Easy Being Me 09. Everyone's Got To Eat 10. I'm Mean 11. Kids 12. I'm Popeye the Sailor Man 13. Everything Is Food 14. He Needs Me (Spanish) 15. I Yam What I Yam (instr.)
This is such a treasure to find. Thanks so much for posting it.
