Nico's third solo album has long been out of print. This reissue include audio mastered from the original tapes and previously unreleased photos of Nico by Guy Webster.

1970's »Desertshore«, co-produced by her Velvet Underground band mate John Cale, like much of Nico's early work, has grown in stature with the passing of time, and alongside »Chelsea Girl« as some of her most accessible work.
