| re .0...
don't know if "Castles..." is on an album. If so it'll probably
pale into insignificance when compared to Maclean's "American Pie"
album.

| It's on the flip side of "Vincent" (in the original version),
and was re-recorded as a single later. Not aware that it's on an
album.

I don't have "American Pie" any more. My ex-girlfriend had a really
scratched copy. Loved the music, but it is pretty depressing.

Press SELECT or KP7.
type OPEN AUDIO
type 1583.0
and read all the replies.
Besides, the scratches are all part of it, I try not to let them
get in the way of the music (and they don't!!)

| Eeeerrr .... AAHEEeeemmm... 'scuse me, could I say something ?
'Castles in the Air' is NOT on American Pie, though 'Vincent' is.
It's on 'The Very Best of Don McLean', on the United Artists label,
which I would reccommend to any McLean fan.
'American Pie' is NOT depressing (except 'The Grave', which I think
should not have been on that album).

| Seconded...
Yes, I too would recommend the afore mentioned Best of album. It
has everything I ever wanted by Don Mclean on including Castles.

I believe that the song "American Pie" became such a millstone around
his neck at one time, that this was the very first song he played
live. This is quite rare for any artists to do. The album after
American Pie (don't know title) was good, but was all but ignored
due to "Pie's" success. He still seels out on tours and has a very
faithful UK following.
