The original album was plagued by suspicious circumstances. The master tapes were either stolen, or sold by Nico for fix money--the truth remains ambiguous. They were incomplete, nevertheless, so Nico returned immediately to the studio and re-recorded the entire album with slightly different personnel and instrumentation. Several musicians who were not on the original recording were employed for the second version.

On Exile, Yoder, Said, and a Theology of Land and Return by Alain Epp Weaver (8006 words)
Exile, while painful, opens up a new chapter in the history of the people of God’s radical reliance on God alone; God’s people, for Yoder, are called to a nonviolent dependence on God which eschews the sovereignty of the sword in favor of embodying an alternative politics amidst the Babylons of the world.
Exile, for Yoder, was not a brief hiatus between monarchy and the return to the land; rather, monarchy formed a problematic interruption in a history of dispersal as mission.
Exile is marked, Said suggests, by “the sheer fact of isolation and displacement, which produces the kind of narcissistic masochism that resists all efforts at amelioration, acculturation, and community.
DRAMA (5022 words)
DRAMA, in formal Western terms a relatively new art form in Persia, though various types of dramatic performance, including religious plays and humorous satirical skits, have long been a part of Persian religious and folk tradition.
Ta¿z^ya (q.v.) is a form of Persian religious drama that developed in the 16th century and commemorates the suffering of Shi¿ite martyrs; it is usually presented in verse and is the only traditional form of Persian drama in which written texts are used (Yarshater, 1979).
This floruit of the drama reflected not only the relative novelty of the genre, with its potential for experimentation, but also the general intellectual climate in Persia, which was partly encouraged by the government of Moháammad-Rezµa@ Shah (1320-57 ˆ/1941-78).
