{"product_id":"slow-dazzle-180-gram-uk","title":"Slow Dazzle [180 Gram] (Uk)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing 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 \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMr. Wilson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaking It All Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirty-Ass Rock 'N' Roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDarling I Need You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRollaroll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeartbreak Hotel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSki Patrol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Not the Loving Kind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Jeweller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 805520240802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Proper Records Uk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.27.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John Cale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291656818769,"sku":"141018","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4385245-3289522.jpg?v=1760731947","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/es\/products\/slow-dazzle-180-gram-uk","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
