Re: [bomp] Stereolab might be the Chantal Goya of today...

Melvin,

Here's the Amazon listing for a CD that contains all
the songs in the movie, plus her other 60s recordings:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00002816E

You might be able to get it cheaper ordering from
overseas, depending on the shipping.  That label is at
http://www.magic-records.com/

I'm pretty sure she moved into children's music in the
70s.  I saw an LP of hers where she's standing with a
bunch of people in disneyland-style suits on the
cover, I shoulda dropped a Euro on that.

Good hunting,
Mark
