John Cale “Paris 1919” (1973)
For me this is simply the best offering from any of the solo Velvets, extraordinarily tender and fragile, this proves once and for all that Cale has more strings to his bow than his more famous fellow Undergrounder Lou Reed. The title track, Hanky Panky No How, and Andalucia are my personal faves but everything on this wonderful underrated LP (bar the plodding Macbeth) is perfect baroque pop, the likes of which you seldom hear. A classic. –Derek
