Rare Nico I’m Not Sayin’ / The Last Mile Immediate 7” single.
I’m Not Sayin’' was the first original single release by Andrew Loog Oldham’s Immediate Records in August 1965. Written by Gordon Lightfoot and produced by Oldham, the song features a moving vocal by Nico, arranged and conducted by David Whittaker with The Rolling Stones’ Brian Jones on guitar with Jimmy Page.
Two promotional films were shot by Peter Whitehead, one featuring Nico wandering through London’s West India Docks in 1965, an area long since changed. The song was chosen by Morrissey as a Desert Island Discs choice on BBC Radio. The gatefold sleeve features photography by Gered Mankowitz from the original recording session.
The original b-side ‘The Last Mile’ was a co-write between Oldham and the-then Immediate Records’ musical director, Jimmy Page. Even as early as 1965, the multi-talents of the future Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin maestro were apparent: as well as guitars, Page also produced, arranged and conducted the song.
