Paris 1919 (Album) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Paris 1919 is a 1973 album by former Velvet Underground member John Cale. It was produced by Chris Thomas and features a backing band consisting largely of members of Little Feat. It is the most accessible and traditional of Cale's albums, and the most well-known of his work as a solo artist.A remastered and expanded edition was released in 2006. It features alternate versions of each song on the album, as well as the previously unreleased session outtake "Burned Out Affair." Although John Cale has set poems of Dylan Thomas to music, the song "Child's Christmas In Wales" only shares a title with Thomas' prose poem of the same name. The song does reference another Thomas poem, 'The Ballad of the Long-Legged Bait', in its second verse.
