José Feliciano: 10 To 23 (R.C.A. Victor 8044); Nilsson: Harry (R.C.A. Victor 8046)

Mark Williams, International Times, 5 December 1969

R.C.A. VICTOR, whoever he may be, has just issued these two albums which both employ pictures of the recording stars in question at a very early stage in their history (i.e.: when they were nought but mites), as cover adornments. This cannot be coincidence. Neither can the fact that the Feliciano record has an actual recording of the boy singing at ten years old and the Nilsson disc a story handwritten by a six-year-old on the rear liner. Kiddy Power is Koming, watch out! Or should I say, 'Groo-groo-gurgle-gum-dribble-dribble?'
