Lynda Laurence , former Supreme and then current wife to album producer, Trevor Lawrence.This album maybe symbolices the last effort of what Harry started back in 1973, when he moved to LA. Released in 1976, most of the songs were actually recorded during the 'Sandman' sessions in late 1975. The sound of both albums were pretty much the same, and it can also be said that 'Du it on monday' has a similarity as well; the same musicians assited Nilsson to make the albums, and the hard-core of the list included:
Jesse Ed Davis and Danny Kootch on guitars,Ringo Starr on spirit,Jim Keltner on drums, Kessel on piano,Al Kooper on percussions,Klaus Voormann on bass, among others.
