Lou Reed Transformer Vinyl Original

Lou reed never matched its heights again largely due to the creative energy that bowie and ronson added to the mix.

Lou reed transformer vinyl original.

This lp is an etirely analogue production. Lou reed s transformer was shocking when it appeared in the seventies. Even dynaflex is mentioned on the labels. Blue sticker on front of sleeve with barcode and speakers corner logo.

Now it appears he practically wrote the glam rock catalog. Made from the original analogue mastertapes. I know this because i still have old original working vinyl versions of all the other rca albums in my collection and none of those have worn out yet.

Rca international nl 83806 format. A great album faithfully reproduced. Vinyl lp album reissue remastered country. Vinyl lp album reissue country.

This is one of the best albums of the 70 s and a key recording in the pantheon of glam rock. Much as mott the hoople benefitted from the bowie boost this recording oozes class. The songs and production on transformer are up with the best in the reed canon and this is my favourite rca album by lou reed. Everybody knows walk on the wild side but erotic anthems like andy s chest and the surprisingly gentle a perfect day now have classic status too.

This cd is available at a surprisingly good price. The first uk pressing of this 1972 lp was issued in a stunning laminated sleeve by clout baker upon its initial release the album sold only in very small numbers it was only when when walk on the wild side was released as a single that the album began to take off post wild side uk lps were issued in a matte finish sleeve not the original more expensive to produce 1st press laminated version making the original transformer sleeve one of the more difficult albums to track down today.
