Nico | I'm Not Sayin' | New Video From Original Uncut Raw Footage | 1965

A new previously unreleased video of Nico performing her first single, I’m Not Saying, cut from recently surfaced raw 16mm footage, shot in the UK in 1965. • In 1965 The Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham and his business manager Tony Calder, set up Immediate Records. The label signed artists such as Rod Stewart, Small Faces, The Nice and Fleetwood Mac. One of the first releases on the label, IM003 in fact, was I'm Not Sayin', the debut record by German model and actress Nico. I'm Not Sayin' was a song written and recorded by Gordon Lightfoot, that was released in early 1965. Nico’s version was recorded in May of that year, at Regent Sounds, in Denmark Street, London. It is disputed who produced and played on the track. Andrew Loog Oldham has been credited as producer. But Oldham himself is quoted as saying it was Jimmy Page (later of the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin) who produced, and played guitar. Page was then a 21-year-old session guitarist who had been recruited by Oldham as Immediate’s house producer. Other sources say that it was Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones playing guitar on the track. At that time, Jones and Nico were dating, which lends some credibility to that. Another source states that the track features a combination of Jones and Page on guitar. David Whitaker is credited as conductor of the orchestra, elsewhere also as arranger. David Whitaker’s sound is widely known for his instantly recognisable strings, on the Andrew Oldham Orchestra’s 1965 track The Last Time, which 30 years later, became the basis of the Verve’s Bittersweet Symphony. • There is an existing promo film for Nico’s I’m Not Sayin’, that was shot at London’s West India Docks. Poor quality versions of the promo have been on YouTube for several years. About 2 years ago, 6 minutes of extraordinary footage of Nico appeared on the Kinolibrary YouTube channel, an independent archive film agency:    • 1960s UK, Nico Performing at Home, 16mm   The uploaded footage is excellent quality, superbly lit and shot, and considering it was over fifty years old, shows virtually no signs of deterioration or mishandling. The clip is described simply as, “1960’s UK, Nico performing at home 16mm”. It is said that Nico was living at Paul McCartney’s London home at the time. Therefore, is it possible that the footage was shot there? Paul, if you’re reading (!) can you please confirm either way? The Kinolibrary footage is silent, and no clues are offered in the video description as to what Nico may have been performing. A few commentators on the YouTube upload postulated about what song she might be singing. Last year, Ada K. reached out to me, saying that they had identified the song Nico was performing in the clip as I’m Not Sayin’. Ada K. asked me if I was interested in trying to synch the footage to the song, and moreover see if it would be possible to create a music video for the song from the raw footage. As a lifelong Velvet Underground fan, and someone long beguiled and intrigued by the enigmatic and beautiful Nico, I gratefully accepted the suggestion. Ada K. studied the footage carefully, and identified for me most of the lines of the song Nico was singing during which parts of the footage. That was invaluable in helping me expedite the synching process. There were a few parts of the song where no usable footage was included in the silent reel. But with imagination, patience and modern technology, I was able to adequately get around those issues. Then, after a few hours of trying out some basic cuts, it became clear to me that that this was potentially a great project, and a very significant find. I wrote to Ada K. : it's great to see this beautiful footage of her looking exactly as she does with Velvets a year or so later. And tho the syncing is boring, slow work, it's truly wonderful when a sync falls into place and suddenly she's singing, I'm not sayin'... And so now we have a brand new, never before seen high-quality video for Nico’s classic debut single, I’m Not Sayin’. Thanks for watching, I hope you dig it! • Sources Video: Nico | Silent Reel | Director & Cinematographer Unknown | UK | 1965 | From the KinoLibrary Archive | Clip AB353 Audio: Nico | I’m Not Sayin’ | Immediate Records | 1965 | Chelsea Music Publishing (P) 1965 Andrew Loog Oldham Production for Andesound Musicians: Nico | Vocals Jimmy Page | Brian Jones | Guitar David Whitaker | Arrangement and orchestra conductor Andrew Loog Oldham | Jimmy Page | Production • Always more videos to follow, so please keep your electric eye on me babe!
