5 out of 5 stars THE BEST AUDIO VERSION AVAILABLE.......2006-08-17


If you are looking for the best audio versions, navigating the array of domestic, European and Japanese releases for each Nilsson album can be a frustrating experience.

I have purchased and painstakingly A/B'd them all, and have posted this review on the best editions of each Nilsson title. All you have to do is find this review and the guesswork is eliminated.

As with all my A/B reviews, the discs were compared on two Sony XA7 transports wired via identical Acoustic Zen coax cables to a Camelot Uther DAC.

The entire catalog was issued in 2002 with Japanese K2 remastering. In terms of remastering, K2 would usually be the end of the story, but this catalog is the rare exception: The final six albums in the K2 offering are the best audio versions, but in the front half of the catalog, the UK and one domestic editions are superior.

The 2004 RCA remaster of "Schmilsson" is the only domestic release that is better than the imports.

The 2006 RCA domestic remaster of "A Little Touch Of Schmilsson In The Night" is virtually identical to the more expensive K2, but the K2 has 22 tracks to the domestic's 18, so the Japanese version is my recommendation.

Here is a list of the best audio versions:

1. Pandemonium Shadow Show/Aerial Ballet/Aerial Pandemonium Ballet (2CD) (2000) UK BMG/Camden Deluxe (catalog number) 74321 757422
2. Skidoo/The Point (2000) UK BMG/Camden Deluxe 74321 757432
3. Harry/Nilsson Sings Newman (2000) UK BMG/Camden Deluxe 74321 757442
4. Schmilsson USA (2004) RCA 82876 572652
5. Son Of Schmilsson (2000) UK BMG/Camden Deluxe 74321 757462
6. A Little Touch Of Schmilsson In The Night (2002) Japan K2 BVCM-37249
7. P*ssy Cats (2002) Japan K2 BVCM-37251 (the UK has one extra track not on the K2)
8. Duit On Mon Dei (2002) Japan K2 BVCM-37252
9. Sandman (2002) Japan K2 BVCM-37253
10. That's The Way It Is (2002) Japan K2 BVCM-37254
11. Knnillssonn (2002) Japan K2 BVCM-37255

The three 2000 BMG Camden UK releases offer more clarity than the Japanese K2's. Perhaps they were working from better source material.

However, the Japanese K2's are definitely better than the UK "2-fer" discs in the later titles. Unfortunately, the K2's are now OOP, more difficult and expensive to locate, although the Japanese frequently re-issue catalog titles.

Before purchasing any OOP Nilsson title off Amazon Marketplace, Half or eBay, I would highly suggest e-mailing the seller (with the catalog number info I have provided above) and confirm the listing. The seller may have another edition of these titles mis-listed.
