Innocent and Vain: an Introduction to Nico is a compilation album by Nico. It was released for the European market by Polydor in 2002 as part of their "An Introduction To" series of budget compilations.
Innocent and Vain, named after one of Nico's songs, is a retrospective album that consists of songs from Chelsea Girl (Polydor, 1967) and The End... (Island, 1974). It also includes two tracks from her 1967 collaboration with The Velvet Underground on The Velvet Underground & Nico (Verve, 1967). Because of Polydor's budget approach, no licensing of The Marble Index (Elektra, 1969) or Desertshore (Reprise, 1970) which Nico recorded in this period, was possible.

Famous quotes containing the words innocent and/or introduction:
“An innocent man is a sin before God. Inhuman and therefore untrustworthy. No man should live without absorbing the sins of his kind, the foul air of his innocence, even if it did wilt rows of angel trumpets and cause them to fall from their vines.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
“For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.”
—Plato (c. 427347 B.C.)
