REPLACE THIS LINE WITH A BANNANA
In response to the query about NICO,
There is at least one other album on which she appears. She sings on
about half the songs on the first VELVET UNDERGROUND album. The album title
is (I think) "The Velvet Underground and Nico", and the cover is white with
a nice bannana done by Andy Warhol. I believe that Andy actually founded the
group, in any event the album is from some stage "experience" he created.
The band's name comes from the bar where they originally played. Lou Reed
was a member, as was John Cale. Nico did not sing on any of the band's
later albums (there are three more).

Nico also sang on the album "The Confessions of Dr. Dream" by Kevin Ayers. There is also an album out with Brian Eno, Kevin Ayers, Nico and some others with a date as the album title; something like June 4, 1974. She also has some solo albums out that I have seen but not heard.

Also from the latest album, VU (a compilation of leftovers), the name of the band came from a book on sadomasochism. (How appropriate: "Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather, whiplash girlchild in the dark...") -- "I was walking down the street. A man came up to me and asked me what was the capital of Bolivia. I hesitated. Three sailors jumped me. The next thing I knew I was making chicken salad." "I don't believe that for a minute. Everyone knows the capital of Bolivia is La Paz." Rich Rosen pyuxd!rlr

The "group" was billed as ACNE (Ayers, Cale, Nico, Eno); I believe the date you gave is correct.

Replace this line with your least favorite albums. Here's some Nico discography for those who are interested; this is some of the most eerie music I have ever heard. Velvet Underground and Nico (I don't think that Warhol founded the group (?) ) Chelsea Girl The Marble Index Desertshore The End (with Eno on electronics) ... there's maybe two more, but these are the main entries. "The End" and "Marble Index" are recommended; but watch out, this music is not very accessible.
