There are four previously unreleased bonus tracks on the CD. (Source: Curtis Armstrong)

The needlepoint on the cover is by Kathy Torrence. The album design is by Dean Torrence (of Jan and Dean).

"I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it.'" -- Harry Nilsson

Timothy Craig	(3.0 / 4.0)
I hope that when BMG Heritage re-issues this CD that they also re-produce a miniature version of the original comic book. As an owner of the original LP, I appreciate not having to flip the disk over half way through the story.

Album Ratings/Reviews

The Point!

(4.0 / 4.0)

lauri t	(4.0 / 4.0)
The best record I've ever heard in my life... a psychedelic masterpiece.
Gregory Powell	(4.0 / 4.0)
Another excellent representation of Harry in his prime. I liked Me and My Arrow so much I named my black lab Arrow. I have a copy with the cartoon book in good shape.
Michael E. McGlothin	(4.0 / 4.0)
I have two copies of the vinyl and the movie to boot. You just can't go wrong with this album.
Craig Hopkins	(4.0 / 4.0)
In third grade...(71/72), my teacher took us in groups of five and sat us in a circle with headsets to listen to the whole album. Looking back, she must have had a mind altering experience that she felt she needed to share. For me the album became and remains a part of who I am. I too have a vinyl in (semi-)good shape which i cherish.
