Lou Reed
📀 Transformer
#Rock #GlamRock

50 years ago Lou Reed from New York City, #USA released his 2nd studio album Transformer.

After the poor commercial success of his debut, Transformer marked Reed's breakthrough and is considered a landmark for the whole Glam Rock history.

Again, as often happended for many in the seventies, it was thanks to the genius of David Bowie, who was a fan of The Velvet Underground!
Bowie called Reed to record his album in London and produced and promoted it along with his guitarist Mick Ronson.

Transformer contains signature songs: "Vicious", "Walk on the Wild Side", "Satellite of Love", "Perfect Day".
Milestone!
