Description: Nico's 1974 album, The End, was her fourth solo release, her fifth collaboration with John Cale (including The Velvet Underground & Nico) and the third with him as producer. John Cale had signed a new contract with Island records in 1973 and Nico was also brought to the label by A&R man Richard Williams, although The End would be only full album she recorded for the label.The End, remastered here for the first time, was a definite move away from the stark almost classical sound of Nico and Cale’s collaboration on The Marble Index, and the folk motifs employed on Desertshore. It completes her glorious triptych with John Cale.Island included Nico on the bill of the specially prepared publicity concert which also launched new LPs from Cale, Eno, and Kevin Ayers. The concert took place at London’s Rainbow Theatre on 1st June 1974 which became the title of the resulting live album released only three weeks later. Nico performed two tracks from her new album; ‘The End’, and a previously unreleased version of ‘Das Lied der Deutschen’. Both tracks can be heard on this new edition. The End remains one of Nico’s most remarkable records and brilliantly complements her two previous solo albums produced by Cale - The Marble Index and Desertshore (released in 2006 as The Frozen Borderlines). This trilogy undoubtedly represents Nico’s best work, a unique statement from an artist with an uncompromising musical vision.
