I first bought VINTAGE VIOLENCE in the mid-'80s, as a Velvets-fanatical college student, and it made virtually no impression on me - played it a couple of times, filed it away, eventually sold it. When the Columbia Legacy CD reissue came out I tried again, and immediately fell in love with it. Always nice when that happens. Of Cale's many other albums, only PARIS 1919 is more beloved by me, and only a smidgen more at that.

Ah so that is where The Dream Syndicate got their name from!
