  Rare SEALED LP
NICO - "The End" UK - (blue) Island Records - ILPS 9311
SEALED!!!

Old vintage British vinyl pressing in nice laminated cover recorded in 1974...

1974's "The End" marked Nico's first studio album since 1970's "Desertshore".   Long time collaborator John Cale again handled production with Roxy Music's Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera providing some of the year's scariest instrumental support (check out Eno's "screaming witch" synthesizers on 'Innocent and Vain')   Never in danger of being confused with a happy pop act, this time around Nico's cold, heavily accented vocals and ghostly harmonium simply reek of death, deterioration and hopelessness.  Sounding like it was recorded in the midst of a killer depression, material such as 'It Has Not Taken Long', 'Secret Side' and ' Innocent and Vain' should not be heard prior to going to bed and will scare the crap out of many listeners.  That description is probably going to put a lot of folks off, but there's something mesmerizing about this downer set.  Marianna Faithful sounds like a pop star compared to Nico's creak of a voice and the woman could handle an uplifting tune if her life depended on it.  Maybe it's that complete and utter sense of human despair that makes the album so fascinating.  Clearly an album that includes a tribute to the last time she saw Jim Morrison ('You Forgot To Answer') is unlikely to get much in the way of top-40 airplay.

  1. "It Has Not Taken Long" – 4:12
  2. "Secret Side" – 4:08
  3. "You Forget to Answer" – 5:08
  4. "Innocent and Vain" – 3:52
  5. "Valley of the Kings" – 3:57
  6. "We've Got the Gold" – 5:44
  7. "The End" – 9:37 ( Jim Morrison)

COVER/VINYL: SEALED

GOOD LUCK!!!
