Alongside solo versions of his classic catalogue, the album features his live take of ‘Hallelujah’. Whilst the Leonard Cohen original achieving little initial success, Cale’s cover gave it greater popular acclaim, which inspired Jeff Buckley’s fabled version.

The reissue includes previously unreleased outtakes. The album cover, designed by noted conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth, has been given a colour update for 2016 – see below. Available on limited edition triple gatefold vinyl as well as standard double vinyl, CD and digital, pre-order your copy from Domino.
