Nico | Chelsea Girl
Nico hated this record, named after the film she recorded with Andy Warhol in 1966. It was, after all, a beautiful piece of music, but Nico wasn’t and active part of the creative process of the record, back in 1981 she stated:
I still cannot listen to it, because everything I wanted for that record, they took it away. I asked for drums, they said no. I asked for more guitars, they said no. And I asked for simplicity, and they covered it in flutes! […] They added strings and – I didn’t like them, but I could live with them. But the flute! The first time I heard the album, I cried and it was all because of the flute.
