Nilsson - Pandemonium Shadow Show
(1967, RCA)



includes a cover of The Beatles "You Can't Do That" which references twenty other Beatles songs in Nilsson's arrangement, and lots of other clever songs with a rich late 60s studio production, very nice low frequencies. A $1 thrift find this morning with water damage on the cover, but the record cleaned up nicely on the VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine after a pre-rinse in the sink, and plays nicely with only light surface noise in the quiet passages.
