On This Day – May 14, 1968

That’s The Way It Is … An Acetate.
This acetate from 1976 comes via the personal collection of Trevor Lawrence who produced and arranged “ … That’s The Way It Is”.
While this contains the same song versions as found on the album release, there are some minor title variations found on the labels e.g. “Thousand Miles Away” rather than “A Thousand Miles Away, “Day Light” rather than “Daylight Has Caught Me” and what appears to simply be a corrected typo to the title “Zombie Jamboreea”
Most of my Nilsson collecting these days focuses on acetates and test pressings but they certainly have become few and far between so I’m very pleased to be able to add this one to the archive.
