Page "Harry Nilsson" Paragraph 31

After the relative failure of his latest two albums, RCA Records considered dropping Nilsson's contract.

In a show of friendship, Lennon accompanied Nilsson to negotiations, and both intimated to RCA that Lennon and Starr might want to sign with them, once their Apple Records contracts with EMI expired in 1975, but would not be interested if Nilsson were no longer with the label.

RCA took the hint and re-signed Nilsson ( adding a bonus clause, to apply to each new album completed ), but neither Lennon nor Starr signed with RCA.
