Short intro

Helen of Troy is the sixth solo studio album by Welsh musician John Cale, released in November 1975 by Island Records, his last of three albums for the label. During the sessions Cale cut two cover versions, Willow Weep for Me and God Only Knows, which went unreleased. Another unused track, Mary Lou, was released on the compilation album Guts. The album features a cover of Pablo Picasso originally by the Modern Lovers, a song which Cale had produced for the band's debut album. Cale re-recorded. Текст песни: Oh, dyou see him standing in the street Mmm, he looks so neat Ive seen him before Running round with all the Cale. UMG от лица компании Universal-Island Records Ltd.

The supporting crew on Cale's final Island album makes for a lineup that could never have happened again - at least, in terms of future results, imagining, among others, Cale, Chris Spedding, Brian Eno, and Phil Collins once more in the same room together seems totally unlikely. Regardless of the oddity, Cale once again led a great ensemble band Spedding now having fully taken over from Manzanera on guitar through another set of great, inspiring songs.

Helen of Troy Tracklist. My Maria Lyrics. Helen of Troy Lyrics. China Sea Lyrics. Helen Of Troy is a stylistically diverse album containing gentle ballads, angry rock and plenty of experimentation. My Maria is a slow elegy with lovely operatic harmony vocals, whilst the atmospheric title track has a complex arrangement with spoken vocal in parts. China Sea is an almost singalong pop number with a catchy tune, whilst the rock number Engine has striking lyrical imagery and a dissonant tone
