2007 reissue of this album from the mysterious vocalist best known for her vocals with the Velvet Underground on their first album. Nico's recording career is filled with musical twists and turns, but she was never anything less than extraordinary at what she did. Originally released in 1974, The End is perhaps Nico's darkest musical moment and has been cited as one of the first true Goth classics. It's the aural equivalent of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland: you know you'll be OK when it's over but the ride is still thrilling and chilling! Nico receives musical assistance from VU's John Cale, Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno and others. Eight tracks including 'Secret Side', 'It Has Not Taken Long' and 'We've Got The Gold'. Spectrum.
