Released: Never, compilation made 2008

192Kbps

-

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.

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

Omar And The Howlers

Hard Times In The Land Of Plenty

- CD rip, 320 kbbs / Label: CBS 450948 2

Released in 1987.

-
Omar signed with CBS/Columbia Records in 1987 and cut "Hard Times in the Land of Plenty". This third album was a breakthrough for the band, receiving extensive airplay in the USA and Canada and earning an Edison award in Holland and sold in excess 500,000 copies!

-

Since then there have been another dozen albums, all of them featuring Omar’s guitar and voice, which reviewers describe as a cross between Howlin’ Wolf in his prime and the warning growl of a large primate. I didn't make this up myself, it's says so on his homepage.

-

The music is heavy bluesrock oriented. And if you happen to like swamprock than you got lucky because it has a strong Creedence Clearwater Revival feeling.

Tracklisting:

1. Hard Times in the Land of Plenty 2. Dancing in the Canebrake 3. Border Girl 4. Mississippi Hoo Doo Man 5. Don't Rock Me the Wrong Way 6. Same Old Grind 7. Don't You Know 8. You Ain't Foolin' Nobody 9. Shadow Man 10. Lee Anne

Eric Stewart - Do Not Bend

Strawberry Records ~224 Kbbs VBR

CD original released in 2003

In 1995 10cc released their final studio album "Mirror Mirror". The Album flops and Eric Stewart has no interest in milking the band's name any longer and goes solo. Eric took a little time to write and record (about 8 years...) and did make a return with this solo album "Do Not Bend", released in April of 2003.

This is his first solo album since 1982's "Frooty Rooties". Eric got help on background vocals but otherwise he does all the vocals and plays all the instruments.

Eric Stewart – vocals, guitar, bass, piano, synthesiser, drums and percussion, steel drums, brass / Sam Brown – backing vocals / Helen McRobbie – backing vocals / Louise Marshall – backing vocals

tracks:
You Can't Take It With You / A Friend In Need / The Gods Are Smiling / Fred and Dis-Audrey / I Will Love You Tomorrow / Sleeping With The Ghosts / Rappin' With Yves / Norman Conquest II / No No Nettie / Mr. Decadent / Do The Books / Set In Blancmange / A Human, Being / You Are Not Me

For those who downloaded Eric Stewart's GIRLS: There were two tracks missing! I've added them. Read the comments in the original post.

Herbie Armstrong

Back Against The Wall

- CD rip, 320 kbbs / Label: MMC

Released in 1983.

-
Now Herbie is running a Restaurant together with his Swedish-born wife Elizabeth, in Hampshirecalled The Fountain Inn & Thai Restaurant but once Herbie was a great musician.

-

Herbie's steps in music are very closely related to Van Morrison. It starts in 1964 when Herbie and Van played together in The Manhattan Showband and in Brian Rossi and the Golden Eagles. Van Morrison left to form Them, and asked Herbie to go with him, but Herbie stayed instead but they were re-united when Them stopped and Van starts making soloalbums. In the 70's and 80's Herbie plays on Van Morrison's albums. Herbie also played in Fox. They had hits in the 70's with "Only You Can", "Imagine Me, Imagine You" and "He's got Magic".

-

On "Back Against The Wall" are some great musicians:
Herbie Armstrong (vocals, guitar)
Patrick O'Hearn (bass)
Pee Wee Ellis (sax)
Mark Isham (trumpet, keyboards)
Peter Van Hooke (drums)

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)

Walking Into Mirrors

320 kbbs / Album released in 1981.

Original lp was released by The Rocket Record Company

-

-

This relatively unknown artist at that time teamed up with Peter Gabriel, Jerry Marotta, Tony Levin, Larry Fast and others to produce a very interesting album. For all of us who enjoyed the experiments and sounds of Peter Gabriel in his third album, this was a "must-have" as it had several Gabriel's musicians playing in the album (and Gabriel himself appears in "Screaming Jets", one of the best tracks of this record).

-
If you are a Genesis / Gabriel / Collins fan, you must already be aware of this unique recording. In case you weren't aware that this existed then this is your chance

Walking into Mirrors 3.39 / Radio Active 3.41 / Searchlight 2.58 / Martian Summer 4.45 / Screaming Jets 5.25 / Three Minutes 4.04 / Dance with Me 3.18 / (S.O.S.) Sending out Signals 3.21 / Dancing Dolls 3.49 / Fantastic Light 6.18
