Bonus Tracks, Vol. 4 :: Willie Nelson, John Cale, Curtis Mayfield | AQUARIUM DRUNKARD

Aquarium Drunkard - has posted its Bonus Tracks section again Vol 4 Includes JOHN CALE single B-Side! (I know right?)

John Cale :: Sylvia Said: Weirdly, Island Records put out a single of John Cale’s queasy/horny “The Man Who Couldn’t Afford To Orgy,” one of the odder tracks on Cale’s otherwise perfect Fear LP. But those completists who picked up the “Orgy” seven-inch were rewarded with a perfectly lovely b-side entitled “Sylvia Said.” Later made available as an extra on the excellent Island Years compilation, this is Cale at his pastoral best, a nocturnal companion to his glorious “Big White Cloud” from a few years earlier. Viola, keyboards and 12-string guitar swirl around John’s romantic vocals, creating a hazy atmosphere you just want to sink into forever.
