The Blue Orchids website has details of the official/semi-official albums etc:
 
 
The ROIR cassette was called European Diary 1982 I think originally and is the one now reissued as Do or Die (I might have got this wrong but its easily checked out). Whatever it is well worth a listen. The only bootlegs I've seen lately have been of Nico post-Blue Orchids period.....I also would be interested in anything thats kicking around with the Blessed Orchids as backing band. On a related point I get the impression quite a few the gigs were recorded any sighting of the Blue Orchids sets (minius Nico) would be even more interesting.
 
On the Blue Orchids site there's a great extract from the Dick Witts book about the band returning through Customs after the euorpean tour.
 
Martin
There's a Nico track on the reissue of the Blue
Orchids' "Greatest Hit (Money Mountain)" - a must-have
for any music fan.  The ROIR cassette by Nico ("Do Or
Die something something") had a lot of performances
with the Blue Orchids backing her; you can hear Martin
Bramah's backing vocals on songs like "Femme Fatale."


They should have recorded in the studio, but heroin
and laziness prevented it, I suppose.  Do a Nico +
discography search and you'll find plenty of at least
semi-legitimate releases.
