{"product_id":"john-cale-slow-dazzle","title":"John Cale - Slow Dazzle","description":"Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Following on quickly from Fear, and capitalising on that album's energy Slow Dazzle is another fiery release by Velvet Underground founder John Cale - This re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1975 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180gm vinyl. Released in March 1975, initially, the album offers a false sense of mellow security: \"Mr Wilson\", a tribute to Brian, the leader of Cale's beloved Beach Boys starts the on a much sweeter note than \"Fear Is A Man's Best Friend\", as does \"Taking It All Away\"; by \"Dirty Ass Rock'n'Roll\" Slow Dazzle is off to darker terrain, business as usual. Cale, however, cannot resist a pop song and a ballad \"Ski Patrol\" is a great two-minute vignette, and \"I'm Not The Loving Kind\" is soul-baring. The album's reputation, however, rests on two tracks \"Guts\", a bald telling of Cale's wife's infidelity and his pitch-black cover of Elvis Presley's \"Heartbreak Hotel\". 50 years later, these songs still pack a tremendous punch.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526867325013,"sku":"805520240802","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/john-cale-slow-dazzle-5779517.jpg?v=1780104488","url":"https:\/\/levitation.fm\/en-au\/products\/john-cale-slow-dazzle","provider":"LEVITATION","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
