From Light In The Attic Records (TWM 09), this is FATA 

MORGANA by  NICO & THE FACTION, an audiophile 

2-LP set recorded live from her last ever performance in West 

Berlin on June 6, 1988. She died 6 weeks later on July 18 while 

on vacation bicycling through Ibiza. This set is a Record Store Day 

exclusive limited to 2000 copies worldwide; includes insert and extensive 

liner notes. We believe the LPs are numbered inside either on on one 

of the inserts or on the discs themselves. Obviously, our highest, most 

passionate recommendation!

are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home, 

a second yacht or a four hundred million dollar golden 

parachute.  Instead, you’re helping a little girl get 

dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, 

a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage, 

or a student pay for college. Our customers are our 

shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy. 

Thank you for supporting small businesses.

   

Thoughts for today:

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by 

the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different 

ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself 

a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and 

permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually 

incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute 

power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing 

faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this 

disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.

                                           --- From George Washington's Farewell Address, 1796

 

Be a nuisance where it counts. Do your part to inform and stimulate the public 

to join your action. Be depressed, discouraged, and disappointed at failure and 

the disheartening effects of ignorance, greed, corruption and bad politics — but 

never give up. 

                                           --- Marjory Stoneman Douglas (1890 - 1998)
