the end

180 gram LP re-mastered reissue of the original 1974 album
Originally released in 1974 and produced by John Cale, The End found Nico caught in a dark no-mans land inhabited by ghosts of her past (the late Jim Morrison, on "You Forgot to Answer", and her cover of the Doors' "The End", her teenage rapist on "Secret Side", and her homeland on the controversial rendering of the German national anthem "Das Lied Der Deutschen". Cale, Eno and Manzarek all play on the album and the result is a kind of pre-goth dance of the dead.
