{"product_id":"john-cale-slow-dazzle-180gm-vinyl-vinyl","title":"John Cale - Slow Dazzle - 180gm Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51600062775591,"sku":"805520240802","price":36.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4385245-3289522.jpg?v=1783458734","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/john-cale-slow-dazzle-180gm-vinyl-vinyl","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
