Nico- "Chelsea Girls" (1967) 16mm Film by Andy Warhol
Here's some exquisite Warhol film footage of Nico with her peerless rendition of "Chelsea Girls" (written by Lou Reed and Sterling Morrison) as a soundtrack. To all you Nico haters out there: how can you resist that voice?
The first Nico album, Chelsea Girls, has always been very on my list of favorites, thanks to Nico and Cale and several brilliant songwriters. Amazing that she didn't cover L Cohen since he played an active role in their scene at that time, or rather, in her scene. Thanks for the grorgeous footage.
hcb, thank you for the comment. As it so happens, "Chelsea Girls" is up next in the Velvet Underground Series I'm doing. I'll have it posted in a few days
Found all the Doors at a Russian page! 30gb worth woot! Found Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine even. The Velvet Underground and Nico with the banana on the cover is a good one, hee hee!
Checked my archive database and I didn't even have the Velvet Underground and Nico, that is unacceptable. Just downloaded it. :) Here is the link to all the Doors. It is rock-no.1 a Russian group. Sometimes it is individual flacs sometimes cd image + cue.
baba booey, thanks! Ya, those post-Morrison albums remind me of that VU album, "Squeeze," that was recorded after Lou Reed left. Why not just change the band name?

I try to keep on open mind and stay positive but those albums with someone other than Jim singing are terrible, hee hee!
