Official scores?

Three scores, all taken from the Songs for Drella album, can be found at sheetmusicdirect.com. You can view the first page for free. You have to pay a small sum to get the whole thing.

Vexations

Tracking down the sheetmusic for Eric Satie's Vexations, which Cale performed in 1963, shouldn't be difficult.
