John Cale - The Island years / 2CD set

1996 CD collection.

This double CD combines all three of his mid '70s Island albums (Fear, Slow Dazzle, & Helen of Troy) into one package, with the addition of some interesting bonus tracks, outtakes from Slow Dazzle and Helen of Troy, the B-side 'Sylvia Said,' 'Leaving It Up to You' (which only appeared on early copies of Helen of Troy before 'Coral Moon' took it's place), and 'Mary Lou' (from the 1977 Guts compilation). This was undeniably one of Cale's most fertile periods.
