I re-watched the movie Big Fan and was reminded how perfect the placement of John Cale's Big White Cloud is in film. (The deployment of Helen Reddy's version of Delta Dawn at a critical juncture is also a nice touch). I included the original version of Big White Cloud on another compilation, but there's an excellent alternative version of the song which leads off Disc 5. As I'm posting the final two discs of the Cale compilation, I also wanted to pay homage to an excellent Cale playlist somewhere on the internet (in addition to the one that I mentioned last month), but I can't find it. (I really need a system to keep track of stuff like that.) Anyway, these are the final two discs. I know he's got a huge body of work, but I'd like to think I did justice to a true titan.

Thank you for your hard work on all of these. Can a muti-disc tribute to Mo Tucker be far behind, chuckle chuckle
Was the playlist at this site?

That is an exhaustive site of all things John Cale, and it's the most comprehensive fansite I've seen for ANY artist.
