Yesterday was #harrynillson birthday and I knew it but never got around to playing one of his albums. Son of Schmilsson By Harry Nillson - RCA Record’s - 1972 It was his Birthday yesterday and I knew it, but never got around to playing one of his LPs. 😿 Harry is probably my favorite singer songwriter. He’s just brilliantly creative! Harry Nilsson was being pressured to produce a follow-up album similar to his 1971 breakthrough, Nilsson Schmilsson, but instead, he created a more eccentric work. The album was produced by Richard Perry and features musical contributions from former Beatles Ringo Starr and George Harrison. Other musicians on the recording include Nicky Hopkins, Klaus Voormann, Bobby Keys and Peter Frampton. Among the album's tracks are "You're Breakin' My Heart" and the US hit "Spaceman". Most of the sessions were extensively filmed, at the request of Nilsson. The footage was to be used for a planned documentary, titled Did Somebody Drop His Mouse?, but the film was never released. The album cover features a photograph of Nilsson (dressed as a Dracula-like vampire) taken by Michael Putland at George Harrison’s home, in Friar Park. The album was remastered and released on CD with two bonus tracks in 2000 and with five bonus tracks in 2006. Two years after this album in 1974 a film was made and produced by Apple Films. Harry Nilsson played a borderline bohemian Dracula character I’m guessing it was inspired from this album. Ringo plays a wizard that acts as a mentor. It’s sadly horrible in today’s standards. Ringo apparently owned a vhs tape of it that he couldn’t bare to watch! #harrynillson #vinylrecords #nowplaying https://www.instagram.com/p/CBgCbjMhWbM/?igshid=18yc798gbh7ez
