Translucent Gold Vinyl Pressed at RTI! Includes Restored Artwork!
Aerial Ballet solidified Nilsson's craft as a singer-songwriter par excellence. His pen is decidedly sharper in songs like "Together," "One" and "Don't Leave Me," which deals with the insecurities and fatalities of romance. Suicide is explored in "I Said Goodbye to Me," and the subjects of fame ("Mr. Richland's Favorite Song") and fatherhood ("Daddy's Song") get their drubbing in scat-filled soft-shoe style. This Sundazed edition presents the 1968 mono mix of this treasured work--scarce then, and virtually impossible to locate in the decades since--from the original master reels, with restored artwork. Also included is "Daddy's Song," a tune quickly deleted from the original pressings that features a noticeably different vocal arrangement in its monaural form, and the original first-issue single mix of "Everybody's Talkin'," among other highlights. A unique version seen only briefly when issued and virtually untouchable in the intervening years, Aerial Ballet in mono, pressed at RTI, is now available on vinyl.
"As "Good Old Desk" opens Aerial Ballet with a cheerful saunter, it's clear that Harry Nilsson decided to pick up where he left off with his debut, offering another round of effervescent, devilishly clever pop, equal parts lite psychedelia, pretty ballads, and music hall cabaret. It's not a carbon copy, however." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com
"Beatle John Lennon, queried on the American pop sound, said his favorite performer currently was Nilsson, a coast singer on the Victor label." -As reported in Variety, May 15, 1968
