Nilsson
Nilsson Schmilsson
At No.8, on the “The Top 50 U.K. Albums Chart” on the day I am born, is Harry Nilsson with “Nilsson Schmilsson”.
Harry Nilsson’s 7th studio album,..
…but only his 2nd to chart in the U.K., was currently in it’s 4th week, it’s first to enter the Top Ten, and still a few weeks away from achieving it’s peak position of No.4. That will come at the end of March when it will stay in that position for 3 weeks.
After his big hit single with the Badfinger composition “Without You” has performed even greater in the U.K. Singles equivalent, the album will slowly fall away, leave in the middle of June for a week before a last 2 week showing to see June turn to July.
I’ve created my own separate playlists for both Sides 1 and 2 of this album with (I hope) the correct versions and the original track sequencing order for the U.K. release.
Side 1
Side 2
Many thanks go to the Harry Nilsson’s Official YouTube Channel (@harrynilssonofficial) for providing the chance to hear the tracks so that together we can experience both sides of this album release, as it was intended, once again.
