We Are Vinyl

Lou Reed was an American musician, songwriter, poet, and photographer. Born on March 2, 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, he began his music career in high school and later formed bands during his time at Syracuse University. He was deeply influenced by his professor Delmore Schwartz. In 1964, he co-founded the band The Velvet Underground with John Cale. After leaving the band in 1970, Reed signed a contract with RCA Records and continued to perform until shortly before his death in October 27, 2013.

Reed's diverse talents allowed him to excel as both a musician and a writer. His unique blend of rock music and poetic lyrics set him apart from other artists of his time. Throughout his career, he released numerous albums that showcased his distinctive style and garnered critical acclaim.

In addition to his musical achievements, Reed also had a passion for photography. His photographs captured intimate moments and offered a glimpse into his artistic vision beyond music.

Back In Stock

Lou Reed has always dabbled in contrasts, so it comes as no surprise that the follow-up to his darkly serious concept album Berlin was a commercially oriented, good-time rock and roll fest. Rock n' Roll Animal is a live set that finds reed stretching out on some of his best-loved Velvet Underground tunes with the help of his crack touring band at the time. Though the songs are somewhat given to stylistic excess, the overall sound is streamlined, accessible, and visceral. The twin guitar attack of Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter help transform Velvet classics like White Light White Heat, Sweet Jane, and Rock 'n' Roll into pomp / glam-rock showpieces, complete with extended arrangements, elaborate instrumental sections, and of course, plenty of long guitar solos.

Standard Vinyl housed in Gatefold Sleeve. Remastered under Lou's direct personal supervision.
