A 1985 live performance from the Velvet Underground’s cult icon! Nico’s doom-laden contralto voice, the bizarre choice of a harmonium for accompaniment, and the sheer eeriness and other-worldliness of her repertoire mark Nico as one of the most extraordinarily original performers of the rock era. On translucent blue vinyl!These recordings were subsequently issued as a tribute to her unique talent. The Velvet Underground themselves were criminally neglected while they were still a working band. Nico’s solo career also suffered from being too dark to turn her into a mainstream success. It didn’t help that the odds were also stacked against her. She was a female artist at a time when rock was mostly male dominated, and a German during an era when few non-British or American acts were given the scope to make their mark on the world stage.

Foolishly dismissed by many as little more than a junkie’s role model, Nico’s work was vastly under-valued during her lifetime; her self-destructive tendencies got far more attention than her music. But that doom-laden contralto voice, the bizarre choice of a harmonium for accompaniment, the middle European accent which she never quite lost, and the sheer eeriness and other-worldliness of her repertoire mark her out as one of the most extraordinarily original performers of the rock era.
