New, Record Store Day 2017 release!

Double vinyl set limited to 2000 copies worldwide. Includes insert & liner notes.

This album documents Nico's last ever performance held on June 6, 1988 in West Berlin and contains rare material that is among the last she wrote. Six weeks later, on July 18th, she died while on vacation in Ibiza.
Nico needs little introduction... singer-songwriter, composer, model (Vogue, Elle & Coco Channel), actress (Federico Fellini's 'La Dolce Vita') and Andy Warhol superstar in the 1960s. Collaborations were numerous and the most famous ones include those with Brian Jones, Velvet Underground, Serge Gainsbourg, Brian Eno, Bob Dylan and Marc Almond.
The experimental and sombre sound of her albums is considered the forerunner of the later 'gothic' sound. Nico was admired, cited as a major influence and paid tribute to by many musicians such as Siouxsie & the Banshees, Bauhaus, Patti Smith, Morrissey, Bjork, Leonard Cohen, Henry Rollins and Marianne Faithfull.

All of our LP's are shipped in sturdy cardboard LP mailers with appropriate padding.

With the exception of sealed LP's, all LP's are removed from their outer sleeves to prevent seam splitting. Upon request, we will give your sealed LP's the same treatment.

All records are carefully graded. In an attempt to give customers an accurate impression of condition rather than adhere to somewhat arbitrary criteria, The Great Escape gives an "overall presentation" grade; we do not give a "listening" grade. Our vinyl listings are supplemented when necessary with additional remarks. For example: where some dealers will not allow a cut corner on an otherwise near mint jacket (often automatically relegating it to a VG+ at best), we may grade such a record as NM and note the cut-out mark (thereby letting you know what it "really" looks like: a near-perfect record with a cut corner). LPs are graded cover first, followed by the grade for the vinyl.

We describe all items to the best of our ability and knowledge, and we image everything that is included for each listing. If you have any questions regarding a description or pictures, please contact us for help.
