Did Somebody Drop His Mouse? (Documentary of the Making of Son of Schmilsson, 1972)
(Part 2/5) here/ the rest is toobed as well.
(you can find part one on
Bedazzled as a Quicktime download. For some reason it would not upload for me here unless it shows up miraculously)
The unreleased documentary of the making of Son of Schmilsson, narrated by Nilsson and producer Richard Perry. You can watch it here in three parts, about 40 minutes in total. While the cut is really rough (it gets a bit better later on), it's a fascinating look at Harry and his pals in 1972 London. In its present form, it's barely more than home movie footage of unseen studio moments: Harry debuting new material live in the studio, the band (including Ringo Starr, Nicky Hopkins, Klaus Voormann, Peter Frampton, Bobby Keys & others) working on the arrangements and plenty of weirdness and clowning around. The unfinished film is choppy and the syncing is non-existent, but it's filled with tons of rare footage and musical outtakes that have never surfaced anywhere else, anchored by the Magical Mystery Tour-like busing of the aged Stepney & Pinner Choir Club No. 6 to the recording studio for "I'd Rather Be Dead." The surprisingly intimate, voice-over recollections by Harry & Perry are the best part, but seeing Harry and Nicky Hopkins sitting at the piano working on "Remember (Christmas)" (beginning of Pt.2) is just one of many priceless moments. Maybe one day a clean print will surface but, for now, this is what has circulated around the underground for years.
Another stellar inside look at a seminal LP by an outstanding artist.
