Nilsson's two late-'60s/early-'70s soundtrack albums,
Skidoo and
The Point!, were released as a single-disc two-fer as part of RCA Camden's
Nilsson reissue campaign. Of the two,
The Point! holds up a bit better, since it was designed to stand on its own more than
Skidoo, yet the two are an ideal pairing, showing
Nilsson's silly humor, studio inventiveness, and pop songcraft if not at a peak, then at least in a highly distinctive, amusing setting. There are three bonus tracks: an alternate mix of "I Will Take You There" from
Skidoo, "Girlfriend," and "Down to the Valley."
