This one snared me for good 30 years ago. I wish it had been sooner than that. A complete masterpiece in almost every sense.

I can remember when FM rock radio was hip enough to play Song Cycle all the way through.

This was my introduction to VDP when it was fairly new. I came to it by following Harry Nilsson's Vine Street to Randy Newman's Vine Street to VDP's Vine Street. Song Cycle is an LP I never tire of. Thanks for the background stories.

I really miss an earlier time when you could hear Van Dyke Park on the radio somewhere and there was an important place for his amazing music in our culture.

What an incredible album and an incredible interview with the incredible men who made it possible. I love hearing the perspective of Van Dyke and the way life was in 60s

Funny that Van Dyke mentions the then unfolding underground FM radio scene that accompanied the release of "Donovan's Colors". That song was the very first song I heard when I tuned into KPPC-FM in 1968. That was my introduction to both underground radio and Van Dyke Parks.

This interview is a gold mine. Henderson’s book is a fine companion to the record. I bought Song Cycle after the WB loss leaders LP Songbook, so Cornyn’s insultory publicity had some value. Saved the author of Maus? Who could believe the dimensions of the Butterfly effect? Time, you thief, put this in: Song Cycle made me-having no real talent and zero training-a musician.

Just started to listen to this masterpiece in the past month. Was brought in by "The All Golden" ironically on one of the W.B. Loss Leaders compilations! Thanks for sharing this story. It's one of those LPs that grow on you with each listen and now I'm hooked. It challenges one's perspective of music and then you can never go back!

The All Golden should have been the single from this album.

Well doesn’t the fact that a band called The Beach Boys don’t surf kind of sum up the whole biscuit? Jeez van can I call you van
