Rare Harry DVD's 1 - 4 Mega+NZB file

 
4 x ISO
 
“When you're a Harry fan then these DVD's are a must have
-
Disc 1: Beat Club: Everybody's Talking Derek Taylor intro The Music of Nilsson The Smothers Brothers Summer Show Playboy After Dark Skidoo Trailer - Notes: - The Playboy clip has been edited together from two different sources to present the material in its complete form and in the best available quality. - The Music of Nilsson (aka the first BBC show) is from a brand-new source and has been subject to full audio restoration. After this, no-one will feel the need to mourn the lack of an official release of this or the LTOSITN telecast.

Disc 2: A Little Touch of Schmilsson In The Night Did Somebody Drop His Mouse? - Notes: Both from new sources. See above re: audio restoration.

Disc 3: The Ghost and Mrs. Muir Only You All I Think About Is You Who Done It? Loneliness Beatlefest '84 Rehearsal & Performance Intermedio (?) - Notes: The episode of "Muir" has been reedited from two different sources. While it is still missing about 90 seconds' worth of footage, none of that material featured Harry. The "Only You" clip is a color-corrected version of the officially-released footage (from the Ringo Starr "Photograph" bonus DVD). Beatlefest '84 is sourced from the original VHS camcorder tape. If anyone has more information on the "Intermedio" telecast, please let me know as soon as possible. It is undoubtedly Harry's final appearance on (Spanish) television and may, in fact, be one of the saddest things I've ever seen (in light of its context). - Easter eggs only available via the "play all" menu option: Ringo and Harry's appearance at the Grammy Awards and their promotional ad for the Duit On Mon Dei LP.

Bonus disc: Beat Club: Everybody's Talking (repeat from disc 1) Nilsson et Peggy March 1941 & Good Old Desk - This material represents what little we've been able to uncover from Harry's 1968 promotional tour of Europe. This disc runs roughly 30 minutes.

Many thanks to the person who made these DVD's.

Who Is Harry Nilsson


1,5 Gb AVI. 2006/2010

“When you say the name ‘Harry Nilsson’ people either get it right away or they have no idea.” -Tommy Smothers
-
Why is everybody talking about him? Everybody, in this case, is Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Brian Wilson, Randy Newman, Yoko Ono, Robin Williams, The Smothers Brothers, Van Dyke Parks and other industry friends. These are the real narrarators of Nilsson’s story and their warm, sometimes hilarious yarns reveal the genuine respect and love his contemporaries felt for him. Nilsson was brilliant, complicated and had a rebellious dark side. With a little help from friends like John Lennon and Keith Moon, he created the blueprint for real rock and roll excess which eventually lead to his undoing.
-
Originally released in 2006, the film has been re-released in theaters as of September 2010, this time with additional footage of Nilsson and interviews with his wife and children.
-
“Harry answered to no man. He did as he pleased and had way too much fun while he did it.” - Mickey Dolenz

Davy Jones - Live!!!


©2004 Hercules Promotions
320 kbps CD rip
.
Davy Jones, one fourth of the most famous made for TV rock and roll band ever, the Monkees, has died today (Feb. 29) of a heart attack. .
.
Jones sang lead on several of the band’s hits including ‘Valleri’ and the 1968 No. 1 ‘Daydream Believer,’ and was always cast as the “heart throb” of the band. He was born in England in 1945 and before becoming a singer and actor was actually a jockey. The Monkees last reunited in the summer of 2011.
.
What's the best way to remember Davy? Live!!!
In his own words:"I've got a lot of requests tonight but I'm gonna sing anyway..."
.
Monkees Theme / Little Bit Me Little Bit You / Valleri / Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow) / Papa Gene's Blues / Girl (Look What You Done To Me) / She Hangs Out / I'll Love You Forever / Bright Side Of The Road / On The Road With Archie And Edith / Wasted Days And Wasted Nights / Meatloafy / Nice To Be With You / Band Introductions / Listen To The Band / Steppin' Stone / About Mum... Is You Is Or Is You Ain't? / Daydream Believer / No Time / I'm A Believer / Monkees Theme

Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz & Mike Nesmith - Monkey Solo Recordings

©1995 A-Side AZ-5024
192 Kbps Vinyl Rip
-
In the mid-90s, Japanese labels such as A-Side put together what were known as "copy compilations." Remastered from highly collectable vinyl, these paid royalties through the JASRAC organization. This collection, compiled by Ueno and Yumi Masui from A-side records, pulled together several pre-Monkees artifacts from Davy (then "David") Jones, Mike Nesmith (also known as Michael Blessing) and Micky Dolenz.

The Monkees - The Missing Links I/II/III

Vol I: 1987 / Vol II: 1990 / Vol III: 1996
CD rip 320Kbps
-
Not encumbered by budget restrictions or lack of songs, The Monkees recorded a substantial amount of material that never saw the light of day. In the early phase, it was due to an overabundance of masters, and later, it was because of a waning public interest. These are the periods from which these Missing Links Volumes are drawn from.

VOL I
Apples, Peaches, Bananas and Pears (2:16) / If You Have the Time (2:09) / I Don't Think You Know Me (2:15) / Party (2:46) / Carlisle Wheeling (3:20) / Storybook of You (2:52) / Rosemarie (2:29) / My Share of the Sidewalk (3:07) / All of Your Toys (3:09) / Nine Times Blue (2:10) / So Goes Love (3:08) / Teeny Tiny Gnome (2:28) / Of You (1:58) / War Games (2:33) / Lady's Baby (2:27) / Time and Time Again (2:49)

Micky Dolenz
Broadway Micky

Kid Rhino - R2 71676
CD-Rip 320 Kbbs
Released 1994

Micky Dolenz's follow up of his 1991's "Micky Dolenz Puts You to Sleep" album. This time more uptempo songs. This long lost album is chocked full of Broadway & Hollywood show tunes but luckely Micky doesn't copy the original versions. The songs all have new arrangements and Micky sings them if he wrote them himself (he must have learned that from his old master, Harry Nilsson).

Strangely enough most reviews tells you that Micky was not able to duplicate the wonderful spirit from "puts you to sleep" but I'm sure the reviewers haven't listen to this album once.
The songs are wonderful, the arrangements are great. Dolenz's voice is pleasant and diverse. You will love his take on these classic songs.

tracks:
01 Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (Sherman) / 02 Talk to the Animals (Bricusse) / 03 Somewhere Out There (Horner, Mann, Weil) / 04 Put on a Happy Face (Adams, Strouse) / 05 You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile (Charnin, Strouse) / 06 Never Ending Story (Forsey, Moroder) / 07 My Favorite Things (Hammerstein, Rodgers) / 08 Ease on Down the Road (Smalls) / 09 I Whistle a Happy Tune (hammerstein, Rodgers) / 10 Chim Chim Cheree (Sherman, Sherman) / 11 Me and My Arrow (Nilsson) / 12 When You Wish Upon a Star (Harline, Washington)

Davy Jones
Davy Jones
-
vinyl rip, 256 kbbs
Bell Records
Released in 1971.
-
His first solo album, "David Jones" was released in 1965, but didn't chart. In the fall of 1965, Davy was the first to be selected as a member of "The Monkees." Davy left the group in late-1970. The group reunited several times since then.
-
Soon after he left The Monkees, Davy signed with Bell Records to release his second solo record, simply titled "Davy Jones." The 1971 album contained the single, "Rainy Jane" charting at No. 52 in the USA. He sang "Girl" in a episode of "The Brady Bunch" (the most re-run episode of any TV show in history). Davy Jones did not change the world with this album, but he did put together a pleasing product.

Harry Nilsson
Nilsson



At the end of 1964, Harry Nilsson signed a contract with Tower, a label recently formed by Capitol Records. Harry recorded a few singles for Tower. This album is a compilation of all four of the singles (and their respective B-Sides) that were released during his tenure on the Tower label (1964 - 1966), plus two previously unreleased tracks. and it was released as Spotlight On Nilsson in 1966. Emi/capitol re-released the album early 70's, probably to cash in on Harry's success. I don't know when it was released exactly because there's no mention of it on the label or on de cover..

Although the songs are available as "Spotlight On Nilsson" allmost nothing can be found about this Emidisc release wich has a beautiful sleeve by an unknown artist (mayby it's by Patrick who made some beautiful sleeves (like this one) for EMI). Let me be the first to show this albumart to the world.


Tracks:
1 "The Path That Leads to Trouble" / 2 "Good Times" / 4 "I'm Gonna Lose My Mind" / 5 "She's Yours" / 6 "Sixteen Tons" / 7 "Born In Grenada" / 8 "You Can't Take Your Love (Away From Me)" / 9 "Growin' Up" / 10 "Do You Believe"
