Lou Reed - Transformer

Experience a cornerstone of glam rock and New York artistry with Transformer, Lou Reed’s seminal 1972 solo album—now available as a digitally remastered vinyl LP.

Produced by David Bowie and arranged by Mick Ronson, Transformer elevated Reed from cult Velvet Underground icon to solo stardom. With unforgettable tracks like “Walk on the Wild Side,” “Perfect Day,” and “Satellite of Love,” the album fuses Reed’s streetwise lyricism with Bowie’s glam-pop sensibility, delivering one of the most influential albums of the era.

Reed revisits and refines material from his Velvet Underground days, offering a sharper, more polished sound wrapped in subversive storytelling. The Warhol influence still looms large, especially on “Vicious,” a track born from a whimsical suggestion by the pop art legend himself. Bold, poetic, and brimming with downtown cool, Transformer is a vital piece of rock history. This remastered vinyl pressing offers a rich analog experience—essential for fans of Lou Reed, glam rock, and classic '70s music.
