Ah resurrecting an old thread here...

This is probably the most overlooked masterpiece



Harry Nilsson - The Point

The story and the characters behind them are a lot of fun and will appeal to kids and adults alike. The narration between songs is engaging and entertaining and does more than just tell a story. It has a point! What is the Point? You'll have to listen and find out for yourself. Although this album is sort of geared towards children, there seems to be a deeper wisdom under the surface of it all that people of all ages can learn from.

As for the music, it varies a little, starting off very strong with Everything's Got 'Em and Me and my Arrow. It seems to dip occasionally below these very high standards that are set at the start of the album, but there isn't a bad song on the album. For now, Me and My Arrow is my favorite song on the album and must be one of Nilsson's best songs.

It's a very cheerful album. This album might very well change your attitude and brighten your day if you feel so inclined.

Buy it and see for yourself!

this one is actually the image from wikipedia. cannot remember the serial on mine. i think it starts with 002xxxxxxx something.
I wanted to grab those 2 mono beatles albums as well, but I see the record does not match with the cover.
i took them any ways, but my hint is still on for the mono records. in the mean time i need to find out what I got there. perhaps i can get a cover for it at some stage.
