-

This is a compilation of Nilsson involved songs wich I gathered over the past years. Most of them are not very common, a few are collectors items, some are weird, a few are mashed-up but all are great.

-

01 A mash-up of "Just Let Go in LA" & "One" by DJ Earthworm.

02 A mash-up of "Starry Eyed Surprise" & "Everybody's Talking" by Paul Oakenfold.

03 This cover of "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" was recorded for Hal Willner's 1988 tribute album Stay Awake: Various Interpretations of Music from Vintage Disney Films. Nilsson donated his performance royalties from the song to the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. This is the complete track including Sun Ra's track "Technicolor Pachyderms"

04 The Heebeegeebees - Oh Me (What more can I say) is a parody on Nilssons' humming.

05 In 1974 Harry and Phil Spector wrote "A love like yours" together. Harry recorded it in 1975 with Cher and nicked the duo "Nilssonny & Cher" refering to the former partner of Cher, Sonny.

06 The monkees recorded "Daddy's Song". Davy Jones made this alternative version with a spoken part in the song.

07-18 Harry wrote these.

07 Lori Cullen - Me And My Arrow /08 Reid Jamieson - Nobody Cares About The Railroads Anymore / 09 Anthony Green - Me And My Arrow /10 Asylum Street Spankers - Think About Your Troubles / 11 Jonathan FireEater - Don't Forget Me / 12 David Cassidy - The Puppy Song / 13 Mary Hopkin - The Puppy Song / 14 Michael Nesmith - Rainmaker / 15 Pandemonium - 1941 / 16 The Turtles - The Story Of Rock'n Roll / 17 Mutual Admiration Society - Think About Your Troubles / 18 The Format - The Lottery Song.

19 John Lennon wrote "Old Dirt Road" together with Harry. This is the acoustic version by John.

20 - 22 Harry Nilsson and Phil Spector wrote these songs together in the 60's.

20 the Ronennetes - Paradise / 21 "This Could Be the Night" was recorded by the Modern Folk Quartet and was used as the theme to the rock concert film The Big TNT Show / 22 the Ronennetes - Here I Sit

This is an other out of print album by John Miles. Kind of John Parr/Cliff Richards rock with a reverie to Earth, Wind and Fire. "The Right To Sing" is a great ballad and could have been a big hit if he hadn't released "MUSIC' a few years earlier.

Take Me to My Heaven (3:31) / Song for You (4:09) / It Wasn't Love at All (4:42) / Ready to Spread Your Wings (4:49) / I'll Never Do It Again (4:53) / Heart of Stone (4:35) / Home (5:15) / Close Eyes, Count to Ten (4:29) / Carrie (3:48) / The Right to Sing (3:44)

Both albums posted by request. The quality is a bit poor but enjoyable.

Eric Woolfson

Freudiana

-

Released: October 11, 1990

EMI records.

-

1990's "Freudiana" was the last album that singer/composer Eric Woolfson collaborated on with Alan Parsons. The main reason to release this as a Eric Woolfson album instead of an APP album is that halfway the project Eric wanted to make a musical of it and Alan did not.

-

It features the same musicians that have played on APP albums including Alan Parsons, Ian Bairnson, Stuart Elliot, Chris Rainbow, John Miles and Eric Woolfson himself.

-

So, this is a Eric Woolfson album but it is much more a Alan Parsons Project album than any of Alan Parsons afterlife (man, were you able to listen to "a valid path" without pressing the next button for 5 times?).

Tracks: "The Nirvana Principle" 3:44 / "Freudiana" 6:20 / "I Am a Mirror" 4:06 / "Little Hans" 3:15 / "Dora" 3:51 / "Funny You Should Say That" 4:36 / "You're On Your Own" 3:54 / "Far Away From Home" 3:11 / "Let Yourself Go" 5:26 / "Beyond the Pleasure Principle" 3:13 / "The Ring" 4:22 / Sects Therapy" 3:40 / "No One Can Love You Better Than Me" 5:40 / "Don't Let the Moment Pass" 3:40 / "Upper Me" 5:16 / "Freudiana" 3:43 / "Destiny" 0:51 / "There But For the Grace of God" 5:56
