Harry's Favorite

"Knnilsson is Harry's favorite of his albums. It's not my favorite, but it's still a treat. The songs are wonderful and the arrangements (by Mike McNaught who arranged the music for "The Point!" when it was staged as a play in London) make use of an orchestra and strings instead of guitars and pianos.This Japanese reissue contains one bonus track (not two as originally reported). The bonus track is the song "Ain't It Kinda Wonderful" which Harry wrote for Gene Wilder's 1978 film "The World's Greatest Lover.""
Nilsson's final american release is sublime

"To quote the main character from A Clockwork Orange, I can only discribe this album as "gorgeousness in gorgeousity!"
Harry Nilsson had all the cylinders working when he made this album. Starting out with the absolutely graceful All I think about is You with a boys choir adding to the atmosphere of innocent yearnings and obsession.
Each song is a gem. Brilliantly orchestrated.
"Who Done It?" harks back for my ears to the melody of Coconut and the story is reminiscent of another early Nilsson song, Ten Little Indians. The moods of Knnillssonn shift between breezy, humorous, and loving- all done in a very mature graceful way.
The Japanese Version is by far a better remastering than the English double release of That's the Way It Is/ Knnillssonn (I'm not even sure it claims to be remastered)."
Good stuff!

"Knillssonn or how ever you spell it, is the LP you throw on an hour before bed time. Just kick back, relax and enjoy! This one is pretty, can't say it is rock & roll. It's not his best work in my opinion, but it wont dissapoint. I recomend a glass of wine, a cigarette, and headphones with this record. I don't own the Import CD, i have this one on vinyl. To me it sounds great though.
