Nico's 1974 album, The End, was her fourth solo release, her fifth collaboration with John Cale (including The Velvet Underground & Nico) and the third with him as producer.

The End, remastered here for the first time, was a definite move away from the stark almost classical sound of Nico and Cale’s collaboration on The Marble Index, and the folk motifs employed on Desertshore. It completes her glorious triptych with John Cale.

The End remains one of Nico’s most remarkable records and brilliantly complements her two previous solo albums produced by Cale - The Marble Index and Desertshore (released in 2006 as The Frozen Borderlines). This trilogy undoubtedly represents Nico’s best work, a unique statement from an artist with an uncompromising musical vision.
