Spotlight on Nilsson


Spotlight on Nilsson is the debut album by Harry Nilsson. It is essentially a compilation of all four of the singles that were released during his tenure on the Tower label, plus two previously unreleased tracks. It has been re-issued numerous times over the years with different sleeves, attempting to capitalize on his later success at RCA Records. It was released in 1969 on 8-track on Pickwick as Rock 'N' Roll, without "The Path That Leads to Trouble", and in the UK on EMI's One-Up label in 1972 as Early Years, with the original tracklisting.
The track "Good Times" would be later covered by the Monkees as the title track for their 2016 reunion album.
