Product Description
From Amazon.com
Must everything have a point? That's the question posed by Harry Nilsson's 1971 pop parable of a well-rounded young boy named Oblio, from the Land of Point, who's cast apart from the community by those who resent his pointlessness. Conceived when the gifted singer-songwriter was on an acid trip, The Point! is a product of its time, what with its central theme (the hollowness of conformity) and ornate Beatles-era pop. But the message--presented in song and narration--and music are delivered with a grace and gentleness that elevates The Point far above most socially conscious '60s art. Produced as a made-for-TV movie in 1971, this audio version of the modest masterpiece will appeal to adult fans of the late singer. More to the point, however, it'll capture the fancy of thoughtful youngsters who'll empathize with the little boy who finds points where he's told there are none, and concludes, "If everything has a point, well then I must have one, too." --Steven Stolder

Good sound quality. Timeless story with great music. Been humming and quoting it for years. It's nice to finally replace the vinyl and the worn out cassette tape!

The Point,

Great movie for kids of all ages by Harry Nilsson. Liked it when it first came out in the 70's. Lost my album somehow but am glad to have it back.

The Point - Still the Best,
By Zoe Lorca (Earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Point (Audio CD)
I fell in love with this story and songs when I was a kid when my parents got it for me. I think I wore it out and probably drove them crazy listening to it constantly. I was driving at lunch and heard about the re-release on public radio. They played snippets from the album and 25 years later, I still know all the words. Needless to say, I came back to work and ordered it immediately, a copy for me and one for my 1 1/2 year old neice who I hope, when she is old enough will enjoy it as much as I still do. A tragic end for Nilssen but a brilliant record.
