Sony Music Cmg The RCA Albums Collection

Harry Nilsson – The RCA Albums Collection is a 17CD boxset, including all of Nilsson’s original RCA albums, and three discs of rarities, featuring single only releases, previously unreleased recordings, demos, radio spots, etc. The collection presents the definitive 14 albums in Nilsson's RCA Records U.S. discography, from his 1967 debut Pandemonium Shadow Show (among whose high points are his takes on the Beatles’ “You Can’t Do That” and “She’s Leaving Home”) to his final album for the label in 1977, Knnillssonn. Bonus material on those albums add up to 65 tracks, of which 26 are previously unreleased. Adding to the box set’s historical provenance are three newly-compiled CDs, Nilsson Sessions 1967-1968, Nilsson Sessions 1968-1971, and Nilsson Sessions 1971-1974, containing a total of 58 tracks, exactly half of which (29 tracks) are previously unreleased. The deluxe set demonstrates the profound musical gifts of Harry Nilsson, an artist whose fans ranged from all four Beatles to the Monkees, Randy Newman, Keith Moon, Jimmy Webb, and dozens more. Over the 17CDs, the listener is invited to open up Nilsson’s universe far beyond his touchstone songs.
