Transformer Reissued With Bonus Tracks

You made me forget myself…

I’m sure I’ve expressed frequently enough my love for the classic Lou Reed album, ‘Transformer’, here on BowieNet. (08/02/01 NEWS: LIVE LOU AND RONNO CDS OUT NOW & 12/21/01 NEWS: BOWIE ON TRANSFORMER DOCUMENTARY BROADCAST) Well, if you don’t already own it, now’s the time to grab yourself a copy.

Transformer [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] is reissued today in the UK, and it’s been out for a week in the US already. Apart from the fact that the album has been remastered, another reason to buy this edition is the fact that it contains two bonus tracks in Lou’s previously unreleased acoustic demos of ‘Hangin’ ‘Round’ and ‘Perfect Day’. There is also a hidden bonus, but I’m not going to tell you what that is.

Apart from being the album that broke Lou in the UK, ‘Transformer’ is also notable for its brilliant Bowie/Ronson production. In short, this is a masterpiece, own it!
