Lantern Rec. presents a reissue of Nico's The Drama Of Exile, originally released in 1983. 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. While the first press was a nine-track offering, this second issue excludes "Purple Lips" but adds the tracks "Saeta" and "Vegas" released on a 7" single in 1981. For this album, Nico recorded covers of the Velvet Underground's "I'm Waiting for the Man" and David Bowie's "Heroes". Fully remastered and licensed. 180 gram vinyl.

Originally released in 2002; 2010 release on Vinyl Lovers. Despite her stunning beauty, famous friends and lovers, and a promising career as a model, Nico, instead of becoming the trophy wife of 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.
