The record

Unoff. release.


Title: Nico - Chelsea Girl
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1967, Folk, Baroque Folk, Cologne, Germany 5/26
Condition: New (VZ) | Members: Nico P (38' - 88')
Cultural Facts:

  1. Personal Struggle: Nico’s later heroin addiction and 1988 death after a bicycle fall cast a hard shadow over the icy image people projected onto her.

  2. Studio Lore: Nico reportedly disliked the added strings and flute on Chelsea Girl, feeling the arrangements were imposed without her control.

  3. Scene Ecology: The album links the Warhol Factory, Velvet Underground, Jackson Browne, and 60s art-folk culture, making Nico more than a detached model cameo.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
