June 1, 1974 is a live album officially attributed to Kevin Ayers, John Cale, Brian Eno and Nico, although the concert also featured other well-known musicians, including Mike Oldfield and Robert Wyatt. It was recorded at the Rainbow Theatre in London, and manufactured and released just 27 days later by Island Records.

[edit] Trivia

  • The cover photograph was taken by Mick Rock in the foyer of the Rainbow theatre, shortly before the concert began. The bemused stare between John Cale and Kevin Ayers is explained by the fact that Cale had caught Ayers sleeping with his wife the night before the show.[citation needed]
  • Other songs that were performed at the concert but did not make the LP include Kevin Ayers' "I've Got A Hard-On For You Baby" (with Cale on backing vocals) and John Cale's "Buffalo Ballet" and "Gun".[citation needed]
