180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE VINYL

FIRST PRESSING OF 1000 NUMBERED COPIES ON WHITE VINYL

Fear (1974) was the first of three albums for Island Records, all of which were released in a period of just over a year. During this time John Cale was also producing records for other artists, working on albums such as Horses by Patti Smith, one of the most influential of all proto Punk records.

In addition to his lead vocals on Fear, Cale also played keyboards, guitars, viola, violin and bass, and was joined by Richard Thompson, Roxy Musics Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera, and other artists signed to Island.

Gun features an unusual two-man guitar solo from Manzanera and Eno, with the latter using a synthesizer to process the formers guitar playing in real-time.
