John Cale "The Academy in Peril"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, 4 Men With Beards, US, 2014, 4m821, 646315182118, 180g Vinyl, Replica Die-cut Flip Gatefold Sleeve

Released on July 19, 1972, The Academy in Peril is the second solo album by former Velvet Underground multi-instrumentalist John Cale. Serving as a stark departure from the accessible pop-rock of his solo debut Vintage Violence, the record is a predominantly instrumental exploration of modern classical and avant-garde composition that showcases Cale's formal academic training. Wrapped in an iconic grid-like cover designed by Andy Warhol, it remains one of the most polarizing yet fascinating detours in his expansive discography

The cover art for John Cale's Academy in Peril was designed by Andy Warhol. Warhol provided the artwork in exchange for Cale's contribution to the sountrack of the 1972 Paul Morrissey film Heat.
