January 13, 2004 Nilsson Schmilsson was reissued by BMG on January 13, 2004. Harry Nilsson's best-selling album was remastered and included extensive liner notes and a number of bonus tracks. The CD is avalable from Amazon.com at:
http://www.harrynilsson.com/amazonB000159ELA.html
The bonus tracks are:
"Si No Estas Tu"
Nilsson's version of "Without You" in Spanish.
"How Can I Be Sure of You"
This original Nilsson song has never been released before. Harfry never finished "How Can I Be Sure of You", but reused some of the song's lyrics for "Good For God".
"The Moonbeam Song"
An early, alternative version of the song, with Harry on piano. Curtis describes this as "a lovely band arrangement, with some surprisingly agile piano work from Harry."
"Lamaze"
"Lamaze" is another unreleased Nilsson original. Apparently done as a joke during the sessions for The Story of Eric, this "theme" has a dissonant piano counterpoint and very funny fake French lyrics. Brief but memorable.
"Old Forgotten Soldier"
This version of Harry's song uses the same basic tracks as the recent Camden release, but incorporates highly complex multi-tracked backing vocals that no one knew were there before.
"Gotta Get Up"
This is Harry's original version of the song with a George Tipton arrangement.
In addition to the above songs, the CD contains three unlisted radio spots, two of which
feature brief comments from Richard Perry about the album and Harry.
For the liner notes, Curtis Armstrong conducted lengthy interviews with Richard Perry, Paul Buckmaster, George Tipton, Chris Spedding, Herbie Flowers, Dean Torrence, and Gary Wright. Downloads:

April 22, 2002 Simply Vinyl released the Midnight Cowboy soundtrack on LP in 1999 and Nilsson Schmilsson on LP in 2002.
The following is the description of Nilsson Schmilsson from Simply Vinyl's web site:
Well, here's a classic [...] from an artist who is only just beginning to be recognised for the major influence that he has had on many artists and musicians. So welcome to the late great Harry Nilsson and Nilsson Schmilsson (No.3 U.S., No.4 U.K. '72). This album was a sea change for Nilsson, who had previously been perceived as a sweet-faced choirboy with a subversive streak and had always produced himself. For Nilsson Schmilsson, Harry employed the services of wunderkind producer Richard Perry, whom he met via Phil Spector. The result was a phenomenon! Aided and abetted by Harry's landmark cover of Badfinger's Tom Evans's and Pete Ham's beautiful "Without You" (No.1 U.S., No.1 U.K.), the album quickly raced up the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. Recent film fans will have also noticed "Coconut" (No.8 U.S., No.42 U.K.) being used in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs conveniently also available on 180g vinyl (SVLP28). Another highlight from this masterpiece album is the opening track (and b side of "Without You") "Gotta Get Up", along with the punchy "Jump Into the Fire" (No. 27 U.S. '72). All in all, we're talking one of the great pop classics here which is finally available on glorious 180 gram beautiful analogue vinyl. Downloads:

The album's name comes from a discussion Harry had with some of the musicians about possible titles. One of them said it didn't matter much what you called it ... "Nilsson ... Schmilsson."
