ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING FIGURES OF ROCK’S FRINGES, “NICO” HOBNOBBED,
WORKED, AND WAS ROMANTICALLY LINKED WITH AN INCREDIBLE ASSORTMENT OF
THE MOST LEGENDARY ENTERTAINERS OF THE ’60s. THE PARADOX OF HER CAREER
WAS THAT SHE HERSELF NEVER ATTAINED THE FAME OF HER PEERS, PURSUING A
DISTINCTLY INDIVIDUALISTIC AND UNCOMPROMISING MUSICAL CAREER THAT WAS
UNCOMMERCIAL, BUT WHOLLY ADMIRABLE AND INFLUENTIAL. “NICO” FIRST ROSE TO
FAME AS A EUROPEAN SUPERMODEL, ALSO LANDING A BIT PART IN 1960 FELLINI’S
“LA DOLCE VITA” FILM AND GIVING BIRTH TO A SON BY ALAIN DELON. IN 1965, SHE
ATTRACTED THE ATTENTION OF ROLLING STONES MANAGER ANDREW LOOG OLDHAM,
WHO GAVE HER A CHANCE TO RECORD FOR HIS IMMEDIATE LABEL, THOUGH THE
RESULTING SINGLE, WHICH ALSO FEATURED BRIAN JONES AND JIMMY PAGE ON
GUITARS, FLOPPED . . . SHORTLY AFTERWARD, SHE MOVED TO NEW YORK, WHERE
ANDY WARHOL INSTALLED HER AS A VESTIGIAL PRESENCE AND OCCASIONAL LEAD
SINGER FOR “THE VELVET UNDERGROUND”. THE BAND NEVER REALLY ACCEPTED HER
AS A BONA FIDE MEMBER AND SHE DEPARTED IN 1967, BUT NOT BEFORE C ONTRIBUTING
UNFORGETTABLE DEADPAN VOCALS TO THREE OF THE SONGS ON THEIR CLASSIC 1967
DEBUT LP “CHELSEA GIRL”, “NICO” EMBARKED ON A SOLO CAREER, RECORDING FOLK-
ROCK-FLAVORED SONGS FOR HER DEBUT ALBUM WITH ASSISTANCE FROM JACKSON
BROWNE, LOU REED, AND JOHN CALE. THE RESULT IS THIS BEAUTIFUL ALBUM STILL
HOUSED IN FACTORY SHRINK WRAP WITH PRICE STICKER ON FRONT SIDE, THE DISC
ALSO APPEARS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LOST OF GLOSS PROBABLY
DUE FROM LONG STORAGE
