Harry Nilsson - Legendary Harry Nilsson (Box Set) (2003)

Australian exclusive 3 CD set with 50 tracks, spanning his entire career. Highlights include, 'Everybody's Talkin', 'It Had To Be You', 'As Time Goes By', 'Little Cowboy', 'Over The Rainbow', 'Save The Last Dance For Me' and many,many more.

Review :I am no hardcore Nilsson fan. I'll say that right off the bat. I've always liked the songs of his that I knew, like "Jump Into the Fire"(brilliantly utilized by Martin Scorsese in "Goodfellas"), "Coconut"(featured prominently in Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs"), "Everybody's Talkin'"(used in the great film "Midnight Cowboy"). Being a huge Beatles fan, I knew that he was pals with John Lennon and Ringo Starr. But I never bought any of his albums.

Getting to the point, I've established my status as 'casual fan.' Usually that means I'll buy a 'best of' disc rather than run out and buy the whole catalog. IF YOU HAVE EVEN A CASUAL INTEREST IN HARRY NILSSON-- this is the package to buy. It's THREE CDS, and it'll cost you about the same as a single disc. Among these 3 discs are the ENTIRE "Nilsson Schmilsson" and "A Touch of Schmilsson in the Night" albums, and most of the tracks from the Lennon-produced "Pussycats" album are here also.

There is a two disc Nilsson Anthology called "Personal Best" which has a significantly different track listing, BUT it's also almost twice as expensive. If you want a cheap way to get into the music of Harry Nilsson, you can't beat this set. The only downside is the lack of any real liner notes- the insert is about as basic as you can get, it has songwriting credits and a short essay. NOTE-the price has been raised since the review was originally written
