"The Mason Williams Phonograph Record" is the album on which "Classical
Gas" appeared.  This is a marvelous, eclectic collection of jottings in
essentially random styles.  Some of the highlights, in addition to
"Gas", are "Life Song" (0:27, an excellent summation), "The Prince's
Panties" (no, the prince is not a transvestite), and "Sunflower" (Mason
plays guitar and pucker on a tune which apparently was originally the
music to which a 3 mile high by 2 mile wide sunflower was drawn).  The
producer was Mike Post.

I have no idea where you can get a copy.  I noticed a while back in the
cutout racks that Mason put out a second album, which I neglected to
buy (sob).  Also, he has a bunch of books out.
