Have some questions, about this bootleg.
Is it new ? couldent find any info about it.



any info would be nice.

My bet is on the "Symphony of Sound" soundtrack.

Nico played the guitar?

Tambourine guitar -- a different instrument entirely.

the january 1966 Factory rehearsals maybe?

I don't know is this counts as "playing the guitar" but ...

Years ago I read that during a performance somwehere, Nico was "hitting a guitar with a drumstick".

Thirty seconds of intensive internet search now tells me that for the "A Symphony of Sound" rehearsal and/or film, Nico was seen "rattling a screwdriver across the strings of a bass". An official source (ok, Wikipedia) informs me it was Cale's Precision Fender bass.

Given the timings on the sleeve photo, the boot (if it exists) could be two extracts from A Symphony of Sound (as suggested in other replies).

of course, I didn't realize there were timings on the pic. Symphony it is.

where is it for sale? i would like this on vinyl!

so i now know it's the same as the Japanese boot of the Symphony of Sound soundtrack, but I didn't like the cover of that version...

Simon, I remember years ago you were talking about doing a transfer from the Raro VHS soundtrack of this - that being in theory the best, highest-resolution version that's out there. Did you ever do it? How did it turn out if so?
