Does Cale know about this site? What about an official site ?
Yes, he has seen it, but he doesn't authorize it. Official site: john-cale.com.
Date of his birthday ?
He was born on March 9, 1942 in Garnant, Wales, United Kingdom.
How do I get in touch with other John Cale enthousiasts?
I bet I can't find 100.000 people who know John Cale! on Facebook is a good place to start.
Where can I buy the albums Caribbean Sunset and Comes Alive on CD?
You can't. These albums were never released as such. He owns the rights and he licensed them to his current label Domino, who have no interest releasing them. A few tracks from these albums can be found on the Seducing Down The Door 2CD compilation.
