John Cale – Music for a New Society / M:FANS (2-CD Set)

Description

A double CD release that includes the 1982 masterpiece Music for a New Society and its complete reworking M:FANS. 1982’s long out-of-print Music for a New Society has been completely re-mastered from the original tapes and overseen by John Cale. It includes three exclusive tracks, a previously unreleased recording “Library of Force,” and two out-takes from the original session.
