Domino Records reissue John Cale’s classic live album Fragments of a Rainy Season, featuring his revered interpretation of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, among many solo versions from his enduring catalogue and previously unreleased outtakes.

In contrast to the jaundiced punk truculence of Sabotage/Live (1979) or Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1986), Fragments of a Rainy Season gives us Cale at his most melodic and moving, a mellowed and certainly a soberer man in a Yamamoto jacket and a lopsided haircut running through a selection of his prettiest songs.

Available exclusively through independent stores such as ourselves, this limited edition LP supplements the album with an extra disc featuring eight previously unreleased tracks from the original touring period.

Exclusive to independent retailers.
