Early Tymes
1977 demo album by Harry Nilsson
Early Tymes is a compilation album consisting of demos by Harry Nilsson who recorded for Scott Turner in 1962, when he was still a struggling musician, whose regular job was working in a bank. He was reportedly paid $5 per song to sing vocals to Turner's acoustic guitar. The demos were overdubbed by various studio musicians (including Leon Russell , Herb Alpert and Hal Blaine ) in 1962, and then again were dubbed in 1977 and released on the album Early Tymes in 1977. The demos were then re-dubbed and released in 1994 as Nilsson '62: The Debut Sessions and contain previously unreleased demos. Hollywood Dreamer was released in 2001 without any of the overdubs, and contains the unreleased demos "Oh I Wonder" and "On Time".
