Not the best "All Tomorrow's Parties"

"It seems with Nico albums, most record labels release the same thing over and over again. This CD is basically the "Saeta / "Vegas" single, seven tracks from "Nico in Tokyo" and three versions of "All Tomorrow's Parties."
The vocals for Track 1. "All Tomorrow's Parties" and Track 4. "All Tomorrow's Parties" (Extended Jam) seem to be lifted from the recording made in 1982 with "The Invisible Girls," but with another band playing the instrumentals in an arrangement similar to the original recording made in 1967. It sounds much more polished than the 1967 recording made by The Velvet Underground. The last track, Track 12. "All Tomorrow's Parties" (Nico vs. Apoptygma Berzerk) is a techno remix of the song, but with vocals from a concert recording."

"This CD was squashed with a compressor by, I presume, the mastering engineer to the point that I find the first four tracks and some of the subsequent live tracks (e.g. The End) practically unlistenable. Avoid this release if you care about good sound."
