I WANTED TO BE A SPACEMAN
THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO BE
BUT NOW THAT I AM A SPACEMAN
NOBODY CARES ABOUT ME
is the eighth album
by American singer
released on
July 10th1972
by RCA Records.
Nilsson was being
pressured to produce a
follow-up album
similar to his
1971 breakthrough,
Nilsson Schmilsson,
but instead,
he created a more
eccentric work.
The album was
produced by
Richard Perry
and features
musical contributions
from former
Beatles
Ringo Starr
and
George Harrison.
Other musicians
on the recording
include
Nicky Hopkins,
Klaus Voormann,
Bobby Keys
and
Peter Frampton.
Among the album's tracks are
"You're Breakin' My Heart"
and the
US hit
"Spaceman".
Most of the sessions
were extensively filmed,
at the request of Nilsson.
The footage was to be used
for a planned documentary,
titled
Did Somebody Drop His Mouse?,
but the film was never released.
The album cover
features a photograph
of Nilsson
(dressed as a Dracula-like vampire)
taken by
Michael Putland
at George Harrison’s home
Friar Park.
The album was remastered
and released on CD
with two bonus tracks
in 2000
and with
five bonus tracks
in 2006.
