Title:	The Marble Index
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	SC 5131LP

"Like a bolt from heaven, Nico cast off the understated pace of her work as chanteuse of the Velvet Underground -- and the heavily orchestrated folk-rock of her solo debut, Chelsea Girl -- for the relentlessly bleak and cobalt-blue cool avant-garde stylings of The Marble Index. Produced by former Velvets' cellist John Cale, and employing the harmonium as a lead instrument, The Marble Index is revered now more than it ever was when released in 1969, as the gurgling headwaters source of goth rock." Originally released on Elektra.

Title:	The End
Label:	VINYL LOVERS (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	LP
Price:	$30.00
Catalog #:	VL 900129LP

"Originally released in 1974 and produced by John Cale, The End found Nico caught in a dark no-man's land inhabited by ghosts of her past, the late Jim Morrison on 'You Forgot to Answer' and her cover of the Doors 'The End,' her teenage rapist on 'Secret Side' and her homeland on the controversial rendering of the German national anthem 'Das Lied Der Deutschen.' Cale, Eno and Phil Manzanera all play on the album and the result is a kind of pre-goth dance of the dead." Remastered reissue of the original 1974 album. 180 gram virgin vinyl.

Title:	Femme Fatale
Label:	VINYL LOVERS (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$37.00
Catalog #:	VL 900960LP

"Despite her stunning beauty, famous friends and lovers, and a promising career as a model, Nico, instead of becoming the trophy wife of a rich man, aligned herself with nihilism and self-destruction, becoming the goddess of the underworld...a beautiful and tragic angel of death with a voice from the beyond. In 1982 she recorded two tracks with Martin Hannett, most known for producing the similarly gloomy Joy Division and New Order, and backed by The Invisible Girls. These tracks, a reworking of the Velvet Underground's 'All Tomorrow's Parties' and her own brooding 'Procession', alongside heavily atmospheric live tracks selected from her 1983 tour in London, Copenhagen, Utrecht and Amsterdam are present here. Femme Fatale also includes versions of songs written for her by Dylan, Browne, Bowie and Lou Reed as well as nine Nico originals. Also featuring a detailed bio by Nina Antonia." Gatefold sleeve.
