This set is fascinating and significant in that the only 4 songs Harry performs
live in the studio (the songs from LP have been cut out) had NOT yet been
released on LP at the time. Unfortunately, Skip Weshner missed a good
opportunity to follow up on these new songs. Although, to his credit, Skip does
ask Harry if he ever considered "writing a whole show," presumably meaning
a theme show. One has to wonder if that was the spark that resulted in
The Point. I suppose we will never know.

Note 1: During the interview, Skip played 4 songs from Nilsson's albums
which have been cut out of this torrent because they were officially released.

Note 2: The original seeder placed edited versions of all the songs up front,
as usual, including an extended version of the lovely and rare Doc Williams'
song “Roses Are Blooming,” which Harry never recorded. All performed songs
are then included within the interview in their original, unedited context.

Note 3: Harry performs several new, unrecorded songs (“Old Forgotten Soldier”,
“Think About Your Troubles,” “Poli High,” “Roses Are Blooming”) in the studio
to an, apparently, oblivious Skip Weshner who is focusing more on the “Harry”
and “Nilsson Sings Newman” albums and on sociopolitical commentary.

Note 4: This interview was obviously recorded after the release of “Nilsson
Sings Newman” but before “The Point.” Of the 4 songs Harry performed live in
the studio, two were from “The Point” which would be released later in 1970;
one wouldn't see release until 1974’s “Pussy Cats”; and the other was never
recorded and released on an official Harry Nilsson album.

Note 5: The last conversation track is quite long, but is cut abruptly. I presume that the tape ran out.
