The End is the fourth studio album by German musician Nico. It was recorded in summer 1974 at Sound Techniques studio in London and produced by John Cale. It was released in November 1974. The End is her fifth collaboration with John Cale and second with him as producer. It carries the same harmonium-based sound heard on The Marble Index (1968) and Desertshore (1970), with the addition of Brian Eno's synthesizers and electronic instruments. The song "You Forget to Answer" tells of the misery felt by Nico when she failed to reach ex-lover, and Doors' singer, Jim Morrison by phone only to find out later that he had died. The album was her first since Morrison's death in 1971.

CD - Expanded with a second disc of previously unreleased Peel sessions, live performances from the old grey whistle test and a previously unreleased live cover version of the old german anthem, 'Das Lied Der Deutschen' which was performed and recorded as part of the June 1st 1974 live album, but left off the final album. The booklet now includes new notes by Andrew Batt and previously unseen photographs which were taken in John Cale's flat in London.
