It suffers with the bleed through of Ondine's overlapping monologue. The most complete version is from a single screen version that I obtained on dvdr a long while back. Unfortunately, like the Raro Video dvd, it cuts the exit music from the end of the film. The best version of that is found on a single sided lp from a couple of years back. I have a lossy copy of that.iaredatsun wrote: ↑02 Jun 2019 15:16Is the best version of the 'Nico Crying Reel' music from the Raro DVD?

Currently listening to Symphony of Sound, that would be on my list.

Re: Favourite Cale-Era Bootlegs
The single sided LP I have sounds pretty bad. Very muffled, like it has been recorded in a cinema auditorium on a mic. Is that the same as your recording?Elvis Plebsley wrote: ↑02 Jun 2019 21:31It suffers with the bleed through of Ondine's overlapping monologue.

It's a bit annoying to listen to Pope Ondine talking whilst the music plays, but the music is much clearer on the Raro DVD

I reckon it is. It's definitely an 'audience' recording. Despite its flaws, it's miles better than the version I had for years. It's the same recording, but many generations further removed.iaredatsun wrote: ↑ The single sided LP I have sounds pretty bad.

If memory serves, I contacted Raro when they were working on Chelsea Girls, trying to persuade them to make all the music available, with separate channels for Ondine /Nico and keeping all the Exit Music on the soundtrack. Looked promising at first, but in the end they went with what we have.

Re: Favourite Cale-Era Bootlegs
Odd, isn't it? The DVD has a stereo audio track (according to box), and they could have easily separated them (assuming they were given each side of the film as separate files/reels). Perhaps it was all already mixed down to mono? I was hopeful at first. At least you gave it a shot.Elvis Plebsley wrote: ↑04 Jun 2019 16:16I reckon it is. It's definitely an 'audience' recording.

From Chelsea Girls, a single screen version of Marie Menken/the Gerard Malanga Story:

And Nico Crying (sadly without the chunga-chunga instrumental section):

It's too bad UMG didn't strike a deal with the Warhol museum to use some of the audio here on VU&N 45th. More interesting, imo, than the Factory Rehearsal bits.

Re: Favourite Cale-Era Bootlegs
Agree, it's a shame they didn't include any of the soundtracks at all.
Here's a short segment from the Nico Icon documentary in better quality. Would be real nice to hear the full reel sounding like that!

We need another boxset. The Cale and Soundtrack Years.
