John Cale - Helen Of Troy - LP

180 Gram Vinyl, United Kingdom Import

Recorded quickly in 1975 between John Cale's production of Patti Smith's Horses and an Italian tour, Helen of Troy became Cale's third and final studio album for Island Records. A raw and fascinating listen, it ranges from the bubblegum of "China Sea" to the stripped-down "Cable Hogue," a punkish cover of The Modern Lovers' "Pablo Picasso," and the string-laden beauty of "I Keep a Close Watch." This reissue faithfully replicates the original 1975 UK Island Records release, pressed on high-quality 180-gram vinyl.
