Elsewhere, Mick Rock talks about the iconic 'Transformer' album cover he was responsible for, and makes a few observations on the whole scene in the way that only such a valuable eye-witness can.
Originally released 29 years ago on December 8th, an example of its lasting endurance is the fact that it recently re-entered the Top 20 Album Chart in the UK when it was re-issued as a budget price compact disc.
If 'Transformer' isn't scheduled for a television broadcast in your territory, you may want to treat yourself to the DVD anyway, as it contains extra interview footage not included on either the video or the TV broadcast.

 Album Cover Joe
Capturing the sizable male ego and sexual effrontery of music played by men stroking their phallic guitars and seducing the masses with primal rhythms, lewd lyrics, and vulgar body language, Andy used the front of a pair of tight jeans on a gentleman whose bulge is undeniably well-defined.
The piéce de resistance was the inclusion of a working zipper on the album cover, taking you to the inner sleeve where the guy can be found in his jockey shorts.
The album is replete with weird combinations of jazz and folk influences mixed in a blender, but the four minute Je T’Aime, co-recorded with wife Jane Birkin, is a sensational repartee of pre- to post-orgasmic moans, grunts, sighs and pants that give intimacy a whole new aural dimension.

I like the way he goes about his tracks, in particular his use of percussion that is often not just used as percussion, but more of a melody with the use of filters on the break to almost make it part of the melody.
[Transformer Man] Oh yeah — it’s one of the most important things for me. The drums have got to be nice and hard-hitting, and the bass has to be nice and fat and kind of wrap around the percussion.
In the 80’s he released an album called “Trans” which was a major departure from his usual rock and country style.

 Lou Reed Biography
The album made little impact, spending just two weeks on the chart and consisting of several songs he'd written for the Velvet Underground that had gone unnoticed.
The album was the epitome of sleazy New York chic and took Reed close to the mainstream, setting him up as a streetwise, drug savvy icon for the impending punk explosion.
A sombre work, it set the tone for 1992's Magic and Loss album, a reflection on death and illness inspired by the loss of two of Reed's closes friends, one of whom was the songwriter Doc Pomus.

 BBC - Radio 2 - Critical List - Lou Reed - Transformer
Transformer was aptly named - it would change Lou Reed from shadowy cult figure to (albeit unusual) pop star, and also become possibly the best album ever inspired by New York, even though it wasn't recorded there.
Reed saw his work as a celebration of the dispossessed, saying "I always thought it would be kinda fun to introduce people to characters they maybe hadn't met before, or wanted to meet." By comparison, Bowie's flirtation with gay subculture smacked of affectation when placed against Reed's harshly realistic portrayals.
Transformer eventually hit number 13 in the UK charts, helped considerably by the success of …Wild Side, a massive hit on both sides of the Atlantic after its release as a single.

 When Good Rock Goes Horribly Wrong
This album, believe it or not, was so terrible that the record company actually sent apology notices out to all of the record stores that carried it.
It was this album, and the film from which it was taken, that helped drive a stake through the heart of the film musical for a long, long time.
From my point of view, this album should be handed to every band who has just received their record contract as evidence of what not to turn into in your later years.

Surprisingly, considering the warped characters and demented arrangements, the album was one of the greatest successes of a solo career that allegedly continued into the '90s.
Transformer is one of the most ridiculous albums ever released by a rock 'n' roll icon of Lou Reed's stature.
Transformer is high camp by way of the Bowery, and on "Make Up," and "Goodnight Ladies," Reed sounds like the devil in drag.

In 1973 Lou released the "Transformer" album, which included the simply beautiful classic "Satellite of Love", and one of his most successful hits, "Walk on the Wild Side".
Lou's last album, "Ecstasy" was a return in a sense to past glorys, and was widely toured.
I was lucky enough to catch a concert at the Royal Albert Hall, where all the tracks from the album were played, along with a few V.U. favourites, such as "Sweet Jane" (at which point I burst into tears, yes yes, I am sad), "Dirty Boulevard" and the obligatory "Perfect Day".

 Lou Reed - Coney Island Baby - RCA/Legacy Records - CD
After a failed RCA debut with the self-titled Lou Reed album (try snagging a copy of this one now,) he met up with David Bowie and Mick Ronson, who produced Lou’s turnaround album, Transformer, yielding a Top 40 hit with “Walk On The Wild Side” (…and the colored girls go doo do doo…).
This reissue of Coney Island Baby is not only musically remastered for cleaner sound (and it sounds great, just as the remastering of Transformer achieved, revealing every aspect of these tunes for the digital age,) it is also expanded to include six bonus session tracks, three of which are previously unreleased.
The major problem with this bonus version is that it is not musically in sync with the rest of the album, which likely led to its reinvention.

 TRANSFORMER: THE LOU REED STORY
When David Bowie went to New York to sign with RCA, he was thrilled to meet one of his idols-Lou Reed.
It was Bowie who produced Lou’s TRANSFORMER album which produced the hit song "Walk ON The Wild Side" a musical portrait of characters from Warhol’s factory.
But the Katz-Reed collaboration was short lived, ending in the same turmoil that broke up the Velvet Underground and the Bowie-Reed partnership.

 Lou Reed Transformer CD
TRANSFORMER built on the stripped-down, quirky pop of LOADED-era VU, infusing it with the androgynous, cheeky glitz of the glam era (the bleached-out fl-and-white cover photo of Reed in eye makeup is a giveaway), not to mention a fair bit of Ronson's guitar muscle.
But TRANSFORMER's highlights are some of Reed's best-ever songs: the soaring ditty "Satellite of Love," for instance, the cutting "Vicious," the romantic, yet chillingly melancholic "Perfect Day," and the slice of pop perfection that is "Walk On The Wild Side," complete with shuffling groove, sliding bass, instantly memorable vocal back-ups, and Reed's deadpan talk-singing.
As a result, TRANSFORMER remains one of the infallible standouts in his discography.

 DVD.net : Lou Reed: Transformer - Classic Albums - DVD Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Musicians who worked on the album get to have their say - including producers David Bowie and his guitar toting cohort Mick Ronson, there's some fascinating toying about with the original master tapes with engineer Ken Scott and remembrances of the sessions from drummer John Halsey and bass player Herbie Flowers.
Other interviewees include journos, photographer Mick Rock (who was responsible for the shots on the album cover), Warhol cohort Gerard Malanka, and even 'Little Joe" (actor Joe Dallesandro) and "Holly" (Woodlawn) from the classic "do-do-do-do-do do-do-do do-do-do-do-do do-do-do" laden hit make modern day appearances.
With a further half an hour of footage this DVD offers great value for any fan of the album or, indeed, the man himself - and even Bowie diehards should find it a more than useful addition to their collections.
