  I got the POP SYMPHONY album as part of a twofer with DRAG CITY. This record could be described as a "vanity project" of sorts, but it also serves as a unique calling card for Jan Berry's versatile talents. All these years later, the Jan & Dean catalog is richer and deeper because of albums like this, as is our appreciation for Jan's music. Especially enjoy the Wagnerian heaviness of "Dead Man's Curve." This is a very fine mood album. ****
