Lou reed transformer vinyl original.
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.
Lou reed never matched its heights again largely due to the creative energy that bowie and ronson added to the mix.
Blue sticker on front of sleeve with barcode and speakers corner logo.
This lp is an etirely analogue production.
This is one of the best albums of the 70 s and a key recording in the pantheon of glam rock.
Even dynaflex is mentioned on the labels.
Now it appears he practically wrote the glam rock catalog.
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.
This cd is available at a surprisingly good price.
