Monophonic release of Nilsson's second album for RCA.
RCA quickly deleted the first release of Aerial Ballet and issued this second pressing without "Daddy's Song." RCA feared that Harry's version would compete with The Monkees' cover of the song.
Aerial Ballet was named for an aerial dance act created by Nilsson's great-grandfather.
