Lou Reed

Rock 'n' Roll Lou Reed Coloured edition

By the time Lou Reed made this broadcast for a New York radio station in 1972, his old band, the Velvet

Underground, were all but forgotten. And if anyone except hardcore music fans did remember them, it was only

for their association with Andy Warhol. The bulk of the material recorded for this broadcast came from the

Velvet Underground’s back catalogue and what turned out to be Lou’s breakthrough second album,

Transformer.
