Robert Altman's 1980 film, POPEYE, featuring the music of Grammy winner Harry Nilsson, starred Robin Williams & Shelley Duvall. Harry Nilsson's demos are wonderful; he wrote and sings them all. My personal fave among this superb collection of demos is Nilsson's duet demo with Shelley Duvall.
Included are previously unreleased tracks from the film score, by Thomas Pierson.
PLUS the original Popeye theme AND the original 1930 Popeye vocal track.
Enjoy!
