Nico: The End (Island)

Colman Andrews, Creem, May 1975

NICO'S LAST album, Desertshore — her strongest, most varied, most emotionally effective work, was released over four years ago.

And some us have just moped around chewing our fingernails and muttering "When's another Nico album going to come out?"
