On this 1972 gem, Harry Nilsson continues to walk a tightrope between accessibility and whimsy, all set to unforgettable melodies. Among his collaborators are George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and Peter Frampton.
Mastered from the original master tapes, pressed on premium vinyl at RTI, and housed in an old-school Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered 180g 45RPM 2LP set of Son of Schmilsson presents the music with full-range dynamics and astute clarity. Recording with producer Richard Perry and at London’s Trident Studios for the second time, the singer again captures a natural sound marked by lively tonalities, generous air, and stellar presence. All these aspects come to the fore with unprecedented degrees on this first-ever audiophile reissue of the album.
