A to my taste superb Nico collection, gathering some of her absolutely best. Side one starting with two cuts from the Velvet Underground debute, followed by two from "Chelsea Girl" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/05/nicochelsea-girl-v-5032-67-us-mono.html and one from "Desertshore". Side two lifts off with no less than four tracks from her absolutely best album "Drama Of Exile" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/08/nicodrama-of-exile-aul-715-81-sweden.html to be concluded by the title track from the "The End" album https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/08/nicothe-end-ilps-9311-74.html . There can be no regrets about the song choices here. She has made quite a few more or less questionable recordings through the years, but all the ones in this are done with top production and backing, showing her changing from the late sixties up to mid eighties. Apart from the Velvet Underground tracks being cut very loud - as on the originals - the audio on this Polish issue is very good to the ears. The "Drama Of Exile" cuts maybe not as powerful as on the original, but still enjoyable listening. 1985 vinyl issues in UK (Aura AUL 731), Scandinavia (Mega Rock MRLP 3024) and Greece (Music Box SMB 40304). UK 1986 CD on Aura (AUCD 731). First Polish had label as shown here in a thin matt cover with info in both English and Polish on rear. (NÖC*) (BÅC*) (FÄV*)
