Monophonic release of Harry Nilsson's second album for RCA.

The first release of Aerial Ballet includes ^"Daddy's Song^". RCA quickly deleted this first release and issued a second pressing without ^"Daddy's Song^". RCA feared that Harry's version would compete with The Monkees's cover of the song.

Aerial Ballet is named for a vaudeville act performed by Nilsson's grandparents. The album's name was the inspriation for the name of the rock group Aerosmith.

Album Ratings/Reviews

Aerial Ballet

(4.0 / 4.0)

Roger Smith	(4.0 / 4.0)
Richard Raquet	(4.0 / 4.0)
This is the second Nilsson Album I ever heard (I was introduced to Son of first). Having really enjoyed Son of Schmilsson I found the transition back to Harry's eariest days to be jarring (hard to imagine the same guy creating this album and a song like ^"You're Breaking My Heart^". Still, I gave it a listen and quickly found that it was a fantastic album from beginning to end (with ^"Bath^" being one of my all time favorites).
Tony Muscarella	(4.0 / 4.0)
An easy listening pop masterpiece.
