John Cale: Animal Justice (1977)
Animal Justice is a strange name for a record (an EP, really) from a guy who once decapitated a chicken on stage, though the chicken was already dead. This disc contains three tracks: Chicken Shit (a song about the aforementioned event), Memphis (the Chuck Berry tune), and Hedda Gabbler. The only 12" version this record was a UK pressing.
Allmusic says this: "...Animal Justice can only be ranked among the true must-haves in Cale's ever-lengthening canon." While song of these tracks appear in other places (for example, two tracks appear on the Seducing Down the Door compilation, which I have), I think this EP is well worth having.
