Lou Reed - Transformer.
33rpm, Sealed Vinyl LP. Label= Legacy.
Factory Sealed, Stored in a Climate and Light Controlled Environment. Condition is New Factory Mint.
David Bowie counted the former Velvet Underground leader Lou Reed as a major inspiration — and paid back the debt by producing Transformer. The album had glam flash courtesy of Ziggy Stardust guitarist Mick Ronson as well as Reed's biggest hit, 'Walk on the Wild Side' — which brought drag queens and hustlers into the Top Twenty — and the exquisite ballad 'Perfect Day.' It was Reed's first producer, VU impresario Andy Warhol, who inspired the lead cut when he suggested 'Vicious' as a song title. 'You know, like, 'Vicious/You hit me with a flower,' Warhol elaborated. Reed took him at his word, penning the song and cribbing the lines verbatim."
