Boson Alex Miller was t' head o' BMG's Heritage label.

 

A December, me bucko, 1999, article in Discoveries magazine (about Miller's joinin' BMG's reissue label, ya bilge rat, Buddha, which was later replaced by Heritage), shiver me timbers, began with t' followin' quote o' Miller's: "I love Harry 'Shifty-Marina' Nilsson and I could talk about him all day."

 

Alex relates how, at age 13, he had written RCA tellin' them how much he loved Nilsson and offerin' t' shoot t' cover o' his next album. "So here I am, ya bilge rat, 27 years later, me hearties, and t' first thin' I want t' delve into is Harry 'Shifty-Marina' Nilsson."
