I’m not much for trading records. I always prefer a straight forward monetary transaction but there are times that you just have to step outside your comfort zone when in pursuit of that elusive bit of vinyl. I’ve been keeping an eye out for the French compilation, Nilsson 3 for a while, but could never find anyone wiling to sell.

Then someone in the Harry Nilsson Group on Facebook (hi Philippe !) mentioned he had a spare and would be willing to trade. I did something most collectors never do – I traded my only copy of something that had been equally difficult to track down but sometimes you just have to toss the dice. Hopefully what I traded will find its way back to me some day. For now though I’m very happy to add Nilsson 3 to the collection and share with you all here.

Don’t you love it when you stumble across a pressing you didn’t know even existed? Don’t you love it even more when it’s in great condition and going for a song? Yep, me too.

Borrowing the base artwork from Aerial Ballet for its cover, this compilation LP from Brazil features quite a nice mix of some of Harry’s true gems.

This is an odd one and also our very first Nilsson pressing from Chile. The track listing essentially represents Harry’s eponymous album but with ‘Everybody’s talkin’ used to kick things off.

The record itself certainly looks legit but the cover is questionable. Not a proper sleeve but rather a folded piece of card stock with the artwork pasted on. I’ve seen this before and it doesn’t necessarily mean anything but it is unique and of course I’m a sucker for any Nilsson oddity.
