{"product_id":"805520240802-slow-dazzle-vinyl","title":"JOHN CALE | SLOW DAZZLE (VINYL)","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":"BERTUS","offers":[{"title":"NZ - In Stock (Ships Tomorrow)","offer_id":51145727934764,"sku":"eb-805520240802","price":59.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/5186\/5644\/files\/805520240802.jpg?v=1748944328","url":"https:\/\/realgroovy.com\/products\/805520240802-slow-dazzle-vinyl","provider":"Real Groovy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
