The white-hot rage of his Velvet Underground days was nearly spent; now he was living in Los Angeles, working for a record company and making music when time allowed. He needed to lay to rest some ghosts, but he couldn't do that without scaring up others. \u003ci\u003eParis 1919\u003c\/i\u003e was the result.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this vivid, wide-ranging book, Mark Doyle hunts down the ghosts haunting Cale's most enduring solo album. There are the ghosts of New York     of the Velvets, Nico, and Warhol     that he smuggled into Los Angeles in his luggage. There is the ghost of Dylan Thomas, a fellow Welshman who haunts not just \u003ci\u003eParis 1919\u003c\/i\u003e but much of Cale's life and art. There are the ghosts of history, of a failed peace and the artists who sought the truth in dreams. And there are the ghosts of Christmas, surprising visitors who bring a nostalgic warmth and a touch of wintry dread. With erudition and wit, Doyle offers new ways to listen to an old album whose mysteries will never fully be resolved.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46643220480158,"sku":"UBD-9798765106792","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9798765106792.jpg?v=1774484478","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9798765106792","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
