A limited edition 200 copies vinyl to celebrate one of the icons of music: Nico, the legendary muse of the Velvet Underground and Andy Warhol, who passed away in 1988. The new PopArt label has reissued from the original "Chelsea Live" masters which it was recorded in London in 1985 and was only released on CD, remastered and released on an ice white double LP.
The Live record was renamed "Live in London '85": it was recorded in September of that year at Chelsea Old Town Hall, when the German singer was on tour with Faction led by keyboardist James Young, also arranger of the songs, Eric Ramsden on drums and Graham Dowdall (percussion and keyboards) are also in training.
At that time Nico had recently published "Camera Obscura" which marked his return to collaborating with John Cale after more than 10 years: it would have been the last publication before his disappearance, which took place three years later in Ibiza, due to the consequences of an accident by bike.
In the lineup there are songs from the previous album such as "My Heart Is Empty" (written for his son Ari born from a short relationship with Alain Delon but never recognized by his father) and Velvet Underground classics such as "Femme Fatale" and "All Tomorrow's Parties ", resonated with a minimal and electronic approach.
