John Cale & Lester Bangs w/ the Tom Carey Band
John Cale - vocals, guitar
Lester Bangs "vocalizing"
Tom Carey Band - the rest
Here is a major rarity/oddity. John Cale performing what sounds like a suite of (unfamiliar to me) songs with Lester Bangs "vocalizing" and backed by the Tom Carey Band, whoever they are. It has the sound you would expect from Cale in this era and it is clearly him singing. Other than that I am at a loss. I am told he had something around this era called "The Nine Lives of G. Gordon Liddy" but nothing in the lyrics matches up with that theme as far as I can tell. Also, the Cale gigography I looked at has no performances around this time and certainly nothing so esoteric. But our guy was there (to see another band) and he quickly whipped out his deck and captured this bad boy. SQ is good w/ no major issues. Like all SKOTF Archive recordings this is either uncirculated or a major upgrade with known lineage. In this case, safe to say, uncirculated.
