After the 1974 release of The End - the magnetic and controversial Warhol muse went on a fruitful partnership with French director Philippe Garrel, for almost seven films. Back in New York in 1979 she started to perform again live, appearing firstly at the CBGB with John Cale and musical partner Lutz Ulbrich (former guitarist of Agitation Free and Ash Ra Tempel). Back in France, she met young and talented Corsican bassist Philippe Quilichini who produced her comeback, The Drama Of Exile, in 1981. The album was released twice, in two different versions. Hereby Lantern Rec. Present the second, appearing in 1983, after a legal controversy was settled with Aura Records that released the first issue.
