 Amazon.ca: Harry Nilsson Anthology: Music: Harry Nilsson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
This is a broad collection of Harry Nilsson tunes from early works such as Cuddly Toy(My Best Friend) to Midnight Cowboy to his Classic Nilsson Smilsson work to the end of the trail when he does his Pussycats album with his voice sounding much labored.
For less dedicated fans and those looking to include only one Nilsson piece in their collections, however, this will be the ideal anthology.
On the other hand, based on Nilsson's entire body of work (released and unreleased) and on the limitless possibility of a Nilsson collection, this anthology would rate much, much lower on the scale.

 Birgit Nilsson Virtual Monument
Miss Nilsson sang Isolde's Act I narrative, Elisabeth's Greeting, and the Liebestod.She has been just about the only singer of our day able to set the Met spaces ringing, and last week she set Fisher Hall ringing too.
Her best notes had lost none of their old power or burnished brilliance, but the control of the voice was less secure than before: there were moments of unsteadiness and others of untrue intonation.
Her voice, the dedication of her artistry, her wonderfully wicked sense of humor and her loyal friendship were in a class by themselves.

 ArtScope.net: Gladys Nilsson
Nilsson was among the artists in Chicago Imagism's "Hairy Who," a grouped characterized most by an insistent independence in their art: no concessions to history nor whatever PR 'hype' ruled the day.
"Gladys Nilsson: 60th Birthday Show" offers the humane, household foibles personal to the artist and those about her; but beneath the wit and smiles, there are also the honest human failings unveiled for all.
Nilsson's art in "Gladys Nilsson: 60th Birthday Show," now at the Jean Albano Gallery, displays a Gallic spirit of visual play, akin to artists such as Etienne Delessert; and in content embodies an English sense of personal life, the 'little gods of the hearth' Max Beerbohm so enjoyed.

Swedish soprano Birgit Nilsson was born on May 17, 1918 in the town of Vastra Karup in the province of Skane (Scania) in southern Sweden.
She says, though, that the single biggest event in her life was when she was asked to perform at the opening of the 370th season at La Scala as Turandot on December 7, 1958.
Birgit Nilsson is probably best known for her portrayals of Turandot in Turandot, Brünnhilde in Richard Wagner's Der Ring Des Nibelungen (a role with which she made her La Scala debut in 1958), Isolde in Tristan und Isolde, and Elektra in Elektra.

I personally think that "Nilsson Schlisson" is not in that category but there is still a lot to hear "behind the scenes".
I'm a huge Nilsson fan and that's where I always send people who need an introduction to his work (a bit of a personal crusade for me, I'm afraid) and they are alwasy completely charmed.
As is pointed out in the sleevenotes of this CD, Harry Nilsson had probably taken the baroque songwriterly pop of his three 60s albums as far as he could (though, I for one would have been delighted to see him carry on in a similar vein).

 Rolling Stone : Nilsson Schmilsson : Review
The hit single was Nilsson's powerful cover of "Without You," a previously overlooked cut written and first recorded by Badfinger.
The rest of the album established Nilsson as a talent of unusual depth and scope: Years before public escapades with future drinking buddy Lennon confirmed Nilsson's personal excesses, Schmilsson plays like a study in bipolar disorder.
On the albums that followed, Nilsson ventured into standards and ragged rock, but he would never again be this consistent or popular.
