Description
John Cale was critical of his solo debut, Vintage Violence (1970), seeing it as a masked version of himself. His artistic range became clearer on his next two Reprise albums: The Academy in Peril (1972), an experimental classical work, and Paris 1919 (1973), a refined take on accessible yet anxious songcraft. Reissuing these albums together highlights Cale’s fearless creativity at a time when he saw music as an open canvas.
