Audio: Peter Walker / John Cale |

On the original flexi-disc, the last groove in this record is a "locked groove," repeating ad infinitum; for this web version, we let it loop for about 45 seconds. |
Original format: 7-1/4 inch, 33-1/3 rpm, monaural recording on flexible plastic. White Wind recorded by Vanguard Records; Loop recorded by John Cale. |
