< yum > I would like to obtain copies of recrods made by an artist named Van Dyke Parks. I have a copy of Song Cycle, and a copy of the soundtrack to Popeye, which he was involved in. I believe his other albums are The Clang of the Yankee Reaper and Discover America. I have been searching the used record stores in this part of North Carolina for some time without finding a good pressing of either. If anyone knows where I might be able to obtain copies of these records, or perhaps has them in his/her personal collection and wouldn't mind parting with them, please let me know. -Andrew -- -Andrew Andrew Glassner decvax!mcnc!unc!glassner

Isn't Van Dyke Parks the guy who worked with Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys on the wonderful (but wierd) Smiley Smile...(well known in some circles as the album the beach boys made on acid...listen to "vegetables" and this becomes totally believable). In case, Van Dyke Parks, if I am correct, co-wrote "Heroes and Villians". After this album came Wilson's nervous breakdown, the two year period when he wouldn't leave the house, the Shrink and the all-too-common beginning of the end.
