With the successes of "Everybody's Talkin'" and The Point! creating demand for Nilsson recordings, a reissue of his first two RCA Victor albums, then out-of-print, was considered. Nilsson thought that his early albums, Pandemonium Shadow Show and Aerial Ballet, already sounds a bit dated by 1971. So, he went back into the studio with the master tapes, remixed, tweaked, and re-recorded vocals, and came up with a new consolidation which he titled Aerial Pandemonium Ballet.

Harry Nilsson - Aerial Pandemonium Ballet @ Soundbug (301 words)
"Aerial Pandemonium Ballet" was Nilsson's 1971 remix project, on which he took tracks from 1967's "Pandemonium Shadow Show" and 1968's "Aerial Ballet" and re-worked them, remixing some songs, recording new vocals, and slowing down tempos.
It was a new concept at the time of this album's release, and people didn't quite know what to make of it: The album only managed to reach #149 on Billboard's album chart, and dropped off the chart after only three weeks.
Sometimes I want to hear Pandemonium Shadow by its self there were songs on that C.D that aren't included on this C.D like "Ten little indians","She sang hymes out of tune," and "There will never be." However sometimes I like hearing the alternative versions on this C.D. "Walk right back" is definitly awesome.
