Pandemonium Shadow Show/Aerial Ballet/Aerial Pand Ballet

Performer: Harry Nilsson
Distributor: MSI Music Distribution

Notes: Three albums by sui generis singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson are packaged on this two-disc set. PANDEMONIUM SHADOW SHOW and AERIAL BALLET are proper Nilsson releases, while the third, AERIAL PANDEMONIUM BALLET, is a remix album. CD contains 4 bonus tracks. In 2000, Britain's RCA Camden line mounted an extensive Harry Nilsson reissue campaign, remastering the original albums, offering bonus tracks, and combining the LPs into two-fers where possible. His first two records were issued as part of a double disc set, with the first disc devoted to the two original albums and the second containing his remixed, re-re-recorded consolidation of the two, Aerial Pandemonium Ballet, plus four unreleased tracks, all of high quality. The remix album remains a bit bewildering and all the more so in this context, when it's possible to A-B it with the superior originals. And that's why this is worth seeking out for the curious and the faithful: the debut will still convert, and when you're converted, it's hard not to want to find all the differences between the first two and the remix record. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Though he's best known for his versions of other people's songs (Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'," Badfinger's "Without You," an entire album of Randy Newman songs), Nilsson was a skilled composer, and is recognized as a pop craftsman of the first order. As a songwriter, he placed tunes with the Monkees, the Yardbirds and others. As a singer he managed to wring greatly expressive range from his uniquely flexible voice, and is recognized as a pop craftsman of the first order.
