#2731 Harry Nilsson - Pussy Cats

Why? I guess because Nilsson and John Lennon needed a project, so they banged out a bunch of songs, mostly covers. None of its essential, none of the covers improve greatly on the originals, except for the Dylan song which was improved by replacing Bob Dylan.

The second side's the only one worth hearing, the mournful Save the Last Dance for Me // Black Sails pair's interweaved with the rollicking Loop De Loop // Rock Around the Clock set. It's a dizzying bit of sequencing that's actually a lot of fun. But mostly, Pussy Cats feels lazy; it's nothing you'd give a second listen if it wasn't for the famous names on it 3/5
