Artist:	CALE, JOHN
Title:	Paris 1919
Label:	4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	4M 125LP

"Originally released in 1973, Paris 1919 is Cale's fourth solo release following his departure from the Velvet Underground. Cale's songs on Paris 1919 are hyper-literate numbers filled with political intrigue and shady characters loosely based around the Versailles Conference alluded to in the album's title. Recorded with help from Lowell George and Richie Hayward of Los Angeles southern-rockers Little Feat and the UCLA Symphony Orchestra. Pitchfork called Paris 1919 'the most accessible and most purely beautiful record of Cale's storied, multi-faceted career.'"

Title:	Fear
Label:	VINYL LOVERS (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	LP
Price:	$30.00
Catalog #:	VL 900105LP

"After more than a decade spent in the USA, first as a member of LaMonte Young's entourage, then as a founding member of The Velvet Underground, Cale finally returned home to the UK to continue producing acts as diverse as Patti Smith, The Squeeze, Sham 69, among others. He also continued to write and play music as a solo artist and 1974's Fear, with guest appearances by fellow Island musicians, Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera and Andy MacKay (Roxy Music) is his first effort back on home turf. This album is not mainstream by any means, but a relatively accessible brand of Cale-crafted rock which ranges from even and radiant to completely unhinged. Includes 2 bonus tracks." 180 gram virgin vinyl.

Title:	Slow Dazzle
Label:	VINYL LOVERS (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	LP
Price:	$30.00
Catalog #:	VL 900266LP

"After more than a decade spent in the USA, most prominently as a member of The Velvet Underground, and producer of some of the most important proto-punk albums of all time (the Stooges, Nico, the Modern Lovers), Cale finally returned home to the UK to continue producing, this time with Island where he began producing Patti Smith, Squeeze, and Sham 69, among others. He also continued to write and play music as a solo artist and 1975's Slow Dazzle is his second release on his native soil, with guest appearances by fellow Island musicians Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera, Chris Spedding, and Andy MacKay. With maybe just a drop of dark nostalgia for the good ol' USA, the album features a tribute to both the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson ('Mr. Wilson') & Elvis (with his totally ill version of 'Heartbreak Hotel'). Contains 2 bonus tracks." 180 gram virgin vinyl.
