"I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it." - Harry Nilsson Nilsson's landmark 1971 recording gets the Get On Down reissue treatment!

Is it a children’s story, an acid trip, or a combination of both? Get On Down is proud to present for the first time in generations, Harry Nilsson’s 1971 album The Point! The Point! is a essentially a fable, extolling the trials and tribulations of a round-headed person named Oblio growing up in a “Pointed Village” where by rule of order everyone and everything in the land was to have “a point.” The album covers the challenges Oblio endures while he searches for a cure to his “pointless” condition.

Comes with a fully restored large format 8 page comic storyboard, the same that was included with the original vinyl release, enabling the listener to be more engaged in the story.
