     Although Chelsea Girl (1967) was the first long-player from the German-born
     Christa PΣffgen, it was not her debut solo effort. Prior to becoming
     involved with the Velvet Underground and while under the direction of
     Andrew Loog Oldham, Nico issued an obscure 7" on the mod pop Immediate
     label. The song selection on that 1965 single -- which featured a cover of
     Gordon Lightfoot's "I'm Not Sayin'" and an Oldham co-composition with Jimmy
     Page called "Last Mile" -- foreshadowed the eclectic nature of this LP.
     Although the dissolution between the vocalist and core instrumental quartet
     was not without its share of acrimony, the non-percussive contingent of the
     Velvet Underground is heavily featured on Chelsea Girl: along with
     then-unknown singer/songwriter Jackson Browne (guitar) -- the vocalist's
     concurrent love interest -- there is Lou Reed (guitar), Sterling Morrison
     (guitar/bass), and John Cale (piano/bass/viola), who contrast what they had
     been doing with the larger combo.
