Aerial Pandemonium Ballet
''Aerial Pandemonium Ballet'' is a 1971 album by Harry Nilsson, and one of the first-ever remix albums, years before they became commonplace in the late 1970s and 1980s onwards. Background With the successes of "Everybody's Talkin'" and ''The Point!'' creating demand for Nilsson recordings, a reissue of his first two RCA Victor albums (''Pandemonium Shadow Show'' and ''Aerial Ballet''), then out of print, was considered. Nilsson thought that his early albums already sounded a bit dated by 1971. So he went back into the studio with the master tapes, remixed, tweaked, and re-recorded vocals, and came up with a new consolidation that he titled ''Aerial Pandemonium Ballet''. ''Aerial Pandemonium Ballet'' includes four songs from ''Pandemonium Shadow Show'' ("1941", " Without Her", "River Deep - Mountain High", and "Sleep Late, My Lady Friend") and eight songs from ''Aerial Ballet'' ("Daddy's Song", "Good Old Desk", "Don't Leave Me", "Mr. Richland's Favorite Song", "Together", "Ever ...

Ten Little Indians (Harry Nilsson Song)
"Ten Little Indians" is a song by Harry Nilsson released on his 1967 album ''Pandemonium Shadow Show''. Written in the style of a nursery rhyme, this song is about the Ten Commandments. The Yardbirds' adaptation The Yardbirds recorded "Ten Little Indians" for their second-to-last single on September 25, 1967. The song was a further departure from their earlier recorded material, which had begun when Mickie Most became the group's producer. They follow Nilsson's arrangement, but with Jimmy Page's guitar work, the tune has a more psychedelic- or experimental- rock sound. Only singer Keith Relf and Page perform, with studio musicians John Paul Jones on bass and Clem Cattini on drums (Yardbirds' Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty were left out). Jones also provided the orchestral arrangement and Page employs an audio effect known as reverse echo. In the US, where the Yardbirds still had a strong live performance presence, the song was released as a single with "Drinking Muddy Wat ...
