It was recorded in 1972 and 1973 with producer Chris Thomas, and - although musician credits were never given on the album's packaging until the 2006 Rhino expanded CD edition - features Little Feat members Lowell George on guitar and Richie Hayward on drums, in addition to Wilton Felder of The Crusaders on bass, and orchestration provided by the UCLA Symphony Orchestra. Paris 1919 is made up of songs with arcane and complex lyrics; musically, the album is a shift from his previous works with composer Terry Riley and his avant-garde experiments with La Monte Young towards a more baroque sound. It is the most accessible and traditional of Cale's albums, and the most well-known of his work as a solo artist.The album's title makes reference to the Versailles Conference, the partitioning of Europe that, through the assignment of unilateral war reparations, arguably contributed substantially to the rise of the Third Reich; Cale described the record as "an example of the nicest ways of saying something ugly." A remastered and expanded edition was released in June 2006, featuring alternate versions of each song on the album, as well as the previously unreleased session outtake "Burned Out Affair".. }
