Description


JOHN CALE 5 LP BOX SET -
"New York in the 1960's"

released on Table of the Elements

featuring John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Tony Conrad, Angus MacLise, Terry Jennings, Jack Smith

I bought this new and played it once or twice. All records are NM. Box is in excellent shape, some extremely minor wear. Includes Insert.


review:
A quite unbelievable package - and probably the most elaborate, beautiful packaging you will lay your eyes on for an incredibly long time. These amazing five LP's come housed in a black lacquered wooden box, with a slim book included. The recordings in this series come from another underground, a deep vein of labor and experimentation that parallel’s Cale’s time with the Velvets. It is jubilantly private music, made alone and with like minded spirits – Tony Conrad, Sterling Morrison, original velvets percussionist Angus MacLise – far from the hot light of the velvets’ public notoriety and the rough politics of Cale’s relationship with Lou Reed. An unbelievable collectors item - here is your one off chance to own it. Incredible.
