Cale's 5th Solo Album on Limited Edition 180g Vinyl!

Following on quickly from Fear, and capitalizing on that album's energy, Slow Dazzle is another fiery release by Velvet Underground founder John Cale. This reissue faithfully replicates the original 1975 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high-quality 180g 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.

...Cale's voice again sounds marvelous, balanced perfectly between roughness and trained control, while his piano skills similarly find the connection between straightforward melodies and technical skill.
-Ned Raggett, AllMusic.com, 4.5/5 stars
