Description

Tony Glover's typescript of an interview with Nico, four pages, 8.5 x 11, June 12, 1980, annotated by Glover at the top: "St. Paul - Post Aborted Gig at Duffys (3 songs)." They touch upon her the loss of her voice due to a busy touring schedule ("eight days in a row, two shows a day"), John Cale's involvement with her solo albums ("The mixing lasted almost as long as the recording"), her role in Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, her early days in entertainment ("I took singing lessons in Paris, and I continued them in NY while I was modeling. Singing lessons and acting lessons, with Lee Strasberg. I even went to school with—well, she showed up once. She did a scene out of 'Streetcar Named Desire'—Marilyn Monroe. She peed in her pants…Absolutely so nervous in front of her master"), and how she met Andy Warhol ("Paris, in a club. With Edie Sedgwick and Gerard Malanga—dancing outrageously"). Also includes an issue of the Velvet Underground fanzine What Goes On (No. 3, published in 1982), and a photocopied packet from a different issue of What Goes On. In overall fine condition.

From the Tony Glover Collection.
