Hopefully this will stay in print and not be replaced by "Everybody's Talkin': The Very Best Of". For another 3 bucks (as of this writing), you get 21 songs here instead of just 14 there. (And a cooler cover photo too.)
Two songs on VBO are not here: "Turn Your Radio On" and "All I Do Is Think About You." However, the nine (9) songs here that ain't there overwhelmingly tip the scales to this set. Listening to "1941", "Cuddly Toy", and "Girlfriend", among others, you can almost picture John Lennon jotting Harry's name down on his "List of Future Drinking Buddies."
I'm glad this set includes "As Time Goes By", a minor hit from a standards album (A Touch of Schmillson in the Night) that at the time was actually an UNcommercial move. In the '00's, Nilsson's contemporaries are finding their audience only responds to cover albums while ignoring their new material.
I'm not sure why the new comp was released; RCA/BMG could have just left the older, less-remastered Greatest Hits in print at a bargain price. Anyway, this is the better choice of what's out there now. If you like this, you may want to seek out "Personal Best", a 2-CD anthology which I believe has also slipped out of print.
