John Cale was never very kind to his solo debut, Vintage Violence. When it was released in early 1970, Cale had been out of The Velvet Underground for less than two years. He wanted to prove he could be the songwriter, the person penning the words and melodies behind which a band could work. "I was masked on Vintage Violence," he wrote much later. "You're not really seeing the personality." Indeed, Cale's personality as a polyglot seemingly interested in everything emerged more and more on his next two solo albums, his only two for Reprise: 1972's bracing and exploratory classical sojourn, The Academy in Peril, and 1973's masterclass in anxious but accessible songcraft, Paris 1919. By reissuing both records in tandem affirms the artistic fearlessness Cale then fostered at the edge of 30, when all of music seemed like one inviting playpen
This LP tracklisting combines Intro & Days of Steam into a single track, replicating the original pressing, with different visible banding for each track present on the vinyl LP.
