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.
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.
