Notes
Limited 17 CD box set from the influential Grammy-winning singer/songwriter. Contains 14 albums in Nilsson's RCA Records U.S. discography, from his 1967 debut Pandemonium Shadow Show to his final album for the label in 1977, Knnillssonn. Bonus material on those albums add up to 65 tracks, of which 26 are previously unreleased. Adding to the box set's historical provenance are three newly-compiled CDs, Nilsson Sessions 1967-1968, Nilsson Sessions 1968-1971, and Nilsson Sessions 1971-1974, containing a total of 58 tracks, exactly half of which (29 tracks) are previously unreleased. This set features practically all of his recorded output for the RCA label (the only two albums missing are the soundtracks to Skiddoo and Son of Dracula). Brilliance in a box. Sony/BMG.
