Nico, born Christa Päffgen, was a German singer-songwriter, musician, and actress. She rose to prominence as a member of the Velvet Underground in the 1960s. With her distinct deep voice and unique style, Nico became an influential figure in the avant-garde music scene.
After leaving the Velvet Underground, Nico embarked on a successful solo career, releasing several critically acclaimed albums. Her haunting vocals and poetic lyrics captivated audiences worldwide. Known for her collaborations with renowned artists such as Brian Eno and John Cale, Nico's music transcended genres and pushed boundaries.
Throughout her career, Nico continued to experiment with different musical styles, incorporating elements of folk, rock, and electronic music into her work. Her songs often explored themes of love, loss, and existentialism. Despite facing personal struggles throughout her life, Nico's artistic vision remained uncompromising until her untimely death in 1988.

nico's seminal fourth solo album from 1974 has now been expanded with a second disc of previously unreleased peel sessions, live performances from the old grey whistle test and a previously unreleased live cover version of the old german anthem, 'das lied der deutschen' which was performed and recorded as part of the june 1st 1974 live album, but left off the final album. the booklet now includes new notes by andrew batt and previously unseen photographs which were taken in john cale's flat in london. the original album was produced by fellow velvet underground member john cale and features roxy music members phil manzanera on guitar and brian eno on synthesizers.
