The Marble Index (LP)
- Artist:
- Nico
Domino announces physical reissues of Nico’s second and third solo albums, 1968’s The Marble Index and 1970’s Desertshore. Both albums have long been out of print; the reissues will be available on vinyl and CD, featuring audio mastered from the original tapes, on March 29. The Marble Index and Desertshore, both co-produced by Nico’s Velvet Underground bandmate John Cale, heavily influenced the goth rock movement; the iconic music journalist Lester Bangs wrote, “The Marble Index is the greatest piece of 'avant-garde classical', 'serious' music of the last half of the 20th century so far,” and the New Yorker recently hailed both records as “austere miracles of will and invention.” Newly remastered audio on standard weight 140g black vinyl. 3mm spined sleeve.
