Description

After his dismissal from the Velvet Underground in the fall of 1968, Cale worked as a producer and arranger on albums by The Stooges and Nico before launching his solo career with his first album "Vintage Violence" in 1970. Following the release of a collaborative album with Terry Riley, he signed with Reprise Records and recorded two albums for the label. In 1974, John Cale moved to London and signed with Island Records, for whom he would release three inventive and influential albums in just over a year. "Fear," released in September 1974, was an excellent work and featured contributions from Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera (also credited as executive producer) and Richard Thompson. "Slow Dazzle" appeared in April 1975, with Eno and Manzanera, as well as guitarist Chris Spedding, and included a stunning cover of "Heartbreak Hotel" and the avant-garde spoken word piece "The Bijoutier." Cale's final album on Island, "Helen of Troy," was released in November 1975 and was completed shortly after he finished producing Patti Smith's album "Horses." The recording featured Spedding and Eno as well as contributions from Phil Collins. "Ship of Fools" presents the three albums by John Cale released by Island Records, along with seven bonus tracks drawn from rare singles and session outtakes, and has been recently remastered.
