NICO BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN
VELVET UNDERGROUND
1986
THIS ALBUM HAS BECOME VERY RARE IN THE UK, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN FRANCE, FOR THE UK MARKET.
I HAVE A FRIEND WHO, I MEET, FROM TIME TO TIME IN OUR LOCAL MUSIC SHOP, WHO IS A BIT OF AN AUTHORITY ON THE VELVET UNDERGROUND. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THE REASON WHY.
MOST OF THE COPIES OF THIS RECORD EVENTUALLY ENDED UP IN HOLLAND. I ASKED WHY?
APPARENTLY, THE NETHERLANDS HAS A HUGE NICO FAN BASE, EVEN A FULLY FUNCTIONING NICO APPRECIATION SOCIETY.
THEY ARE NOW SO ORGANISED THAT THEY ARE EVEN RELEASING RARE, NICO RECORDINGS ON 180GM VINYL, WITH HARD TO FIND, NICO PHOTOGRAPHY AND INFORMATIVE SLEEVE NOTES.
THE DEDICATED NICO FANS IN HOLLAND, HAVE QUITE SIMPLY BOUGHT THEM ALL UP FROM THE UK, WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE.
THIS ALBUM HAS AN INTERESTING CURIO, AND THIS FURTHER EXPLAINS, THE HUGE DEMAND FOR THIS RECORD IN THE NETHERLANDS.
IT WAS NOT RECORDED BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN AT ALL.
IT STATES ON THE SLEEVE THAT IT WAS MADE IN WARSAW, BUDAPEST, AND PRAGUE. IT WAS NOT AT ALL, IT WAS MADE IN THE WEST, IN ROTTERDAM.
I FIND IT STAGGERING THAT NICO WAS STRUGGLING WITH WRITERS BLOCK DURING THE CAMERA OBSCURA ERA, WHEN SHE WAS HANGING OUT WITH FELLOW VELVET, JOHN CALE.
I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE THAT WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN FOR REALLY GREAT ARTISTS LIKE NICO, THAT THEY CAN DIG DEEP, AND STILL PULL SOMETHING INCREDIBLE OUT OF THE BAG!
CAMERA OBSCURA IS MY FAVOURITE NICO ALBUM, MY FUNNY VALENTINE IS AWESOME. I FIND CAMERA OBSCURA VERY SOULFUL, MELODIC, AND ACCESSIBLE, WITH SOME OF THE MOST GORGEOUS PIANO PLAYING THAT YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO HEAR. JOHN CALES PRODUCTION WAS PURE GENIUS ALSO.
IF YOU'RE A FAN OF CAMERA, THIS IS A GREAT COMPANION RECORD, FROM THE SAME ERA, NICO WAS JUST ON FIRE, DURING THESE PERFORMANCES.
YOU COULD HEAR A PIN DROP IN-BETWEEN TRACKS, THE PARTISAN DUTCH AUDIENCE WANTED TO HEAR EVERY WORD FROM THE VELVET UNDERGROUND LEGEND.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, BUY ONE QUICK, IF YOU ARE A FAN, OF NICO'S EIGHTIES RECORDINGS.
IF YOU DON'T, THEY WILL, PROBABLY, ALL END UP IN THE NETHERLAND'S!
A COOL VAULT OPINION
