Nico — Femme Fatale

[OUT OF PRINT] 2xLP 180g Virgin Vinyl / Gatefold / Made in EU / In 1982 Nico recorded two tracks with New Order's producer Martin Hannett. Here on double LP for the first time, together with the best recordings from her 1983 tour from memorable gigs in London, Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Copenhagen.

Includes notes by author Nina Antonia / Despite her stunning beauty, famous friends and lovers, and a promising career as a model, Nico, instead of becoming the trophy wife of rich man, aligned herself with nihilism and self-destruction, becoming the goddess of the underworld...a beautiful and tragic angel of death with a voice from the beyond. In 1982 she recorded two tracks with Martin Hannett, most known for producing the similarly gloomy Joy Division and New Order, and backed by The Invisible Girls. These tracks, a reworking of the Velvet Underground's 'All Tomorrow's Parties' and her own brooding 'Procession', alongside heavily atmospheric live tracks selected from her 1983 tour in London, Copenhagen, Utrecht and Amsterdam are present here. "Femme Fatale" also includes versions of songs written for her by Dylan, Browne, Bowie and Lou Reed as well as nine Nico originals. Also featuring a detailed bio by Nina Antonia.
