Lou Reed – Transformer – LP – 180gram Pressing

Transformer was Lou Reeds’ second studio offering, released in November 1972. The album was produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson, both fans of the Velvet Underground, who influenced them both in their musical journeys.

Mick Ronson played a major role in the recording of the album co-producer and primary session musician (contributing guitar, piano, recorder and backing vocals), as well as arranger, notably contributing the lush string arrangement for “Perfect Day“. Reed gave much kudos to Ronson’s contribution in the Transformer album praising the beauty of his work and keeping down the vocal to highlight the strings.

Some of Reed’s key tracks that we know him for today appear on this album, Walk On The Wild side, Perfect Day and Satellite Of Love are on this album. It was this release that elevated him from cult status to become an international star.
