This Listing is for:
JOHN CALE
SABOTAGE LIVE
.
SPY Records SP-004
Original 1979 issue • Stereo LP

VINYL is NM/NM-
Full gloss vinyl is super clean with only a few faintest cosmetic sleeve wisps, viewed under hard bright light. Side 2 also has a small group of tiny pressing dots at the rim (on lead-in edge only - before the grooves), which are 100% inaudible. So Near Mint minus for that side ...just because they are there, if you really look hard. LP plays Like New throughout, bold, loud and crystal clear. Labels are pristine both sides.
.
COVER is VG+
Crisp, bright and clean all around with slightest shelf rub, barely worth mentioning. 2 mild edge creases, one at top, one at bottom; tiny dark spot on l.r. corner-tip. No other creases, no ring wear, writing, dings, cut-out marks or soil. All edges straight, all corners sharp. Seams and spine completely intact with no wear or splits.

STRICT CONSERVATIVE GOLDMINE GRADING
MINT(SEALED) / NM / EX(VG++) / VG+ / VG

Recorded at CBGB's, NYC June 1979


FIRST PRESSING with original "SPY 007" rainbow rim labels
Next issue was on silver IRS labels.

Side B ends in a locked-groove of a 'dead-air' alarm sound.

"Though Lou Reed is often thought of as the abrasive member of the Velvet Underground, during the punk era Reed was writing confessional singer/songwriter albums while his former bandmate John Cale was traveling the world in the company of a band of snot-nosed youngsters raised on hard rock, shrieking himself into a frenzy, wearing a hard hat on-stage, and writing songs like "Chickenshit", a real-life tale of the time he beheaded a chicken (already dead) on-stage and threw the carcass into the crowd and his whole band quit in protest, set to the most merciless music he'd been a part of since White Light/White Heat.

The similarly slashed Sabotage/Live is the noisiest album of Cale's career, but there's more here than volume and feedback. Recorded live at punk mecca CBGB's, the nine songs range from the howling "Mercenaries (Ready for War)" to the more reflective, dirge-like "Captain Hook", a sardonic epic meditation on British colonialism that's every bit as powerful as the louder, faster tracks."
 ~Stewart Mason AllMusicGuide REVIEW
