The third solo studio album by John Cale, released on 25 February 1973 by Reprise Records. Musicians such as Lowell George and Wilton Felder worked with Cale on the release. Its title is a reference to the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, and song contents explore various aspects of early 20th century Western Europe culture and history.
The album received a full CD reissue on 19 June 2006 by Rhino Records UK, featuring the original album remastered, in addition to the outtake "Burned Out Affair", alternate and rehearsal versions of every song on the album, a hidden, unlisted instrumental version of "Macbeth", and the sound effects of the chirping birds found in the title track.
A newly remastered edition by Domino Records was released on 15 November 2024; CD and 2LP reissues both include bonus tracks, including previously unreleased outtakes (as well as previously unheard songs "I Must Not Sniff Cocaine" and Cale's newly-created mix "Fever Dream 2024: You're A Ghost").
