The Beatles- Second Album, mono vinyl, bought some stuff at the thrift, this was in a Buck Owens jacket, condition is fair at best, but plays better than I expected after some hand washing.

I'm in a facebook group, of vintage stereo stuff, a young guy just getting into the hobby, posted he was given some old lps, playing Harry Nilsson, Schmillson, he'd never heard of it, picked it out at random to play, liked it btw, even though I feel kind of old, , I pulled my copy, bought in high school for a spin. Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning.

I was a senior in high school and also bought Nilsson Schmillson.  Still have it and in decent shape.  Now I'll need to play it tonight.

I found a really nice first pressing of "Pandemonium Shadow Show" at the thrift.   I couldn't believe it.

Somehow in my 43 yrs I had never heard of him until a friend dropped of a box of records. Inside was a near minty copy Son Of Schmilsson. Just not my bag.

I am a big Harry Nilsson fan.  Scorp, if you still have the Nilsson lp,  I am interested in taking it 'off your hands'.

There is a very entertaining DVD 'who is harry nilsson' and why is everybody talkin about him?"  I highly recommend it, just for the interview segments.  The Monkees Micky Dolenz says something along the lines that if your wife picked up the phone when Harry called, she knew it meant that she probably wouldn't be seeing you for several days after that....

There is a lot about 'inside the music biz' with producers and the like interviewed.

Take 54 was a sort of theme song for me and my friends back in high school.

I still have it. It's a cutout. Vinyl is real nice, although it reminds me of a dynaflex, VERY flexible disc. Has poster and original inner sleeve, jacket has ring wear. I'd rather someone who appreciates it have it and listen to it. Let me know how to get it to you. I'm in Bethel Park.

Hello Scorpio, 

Thanks.  I will get in touch with you next week and grab that.  We are currently enjoying all sunshine we can handle on Ocracoke Island, down the Outer Banks.
