The record
Title: Lou Reed - Transformer
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1972, Rock, Glam Rock, New York, New York 7/26
Matrix #: AYL1-3806
Condition: VG+, sounds great, looks great, some very light marks (CC) | Members: Lou R (42' - 13')
Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: Reed had already survived electroshock treatment as a teenager, addiction, and years of commercial failure, making his sudden glam-era breakthrough feel anything but clean or easy.
- Studio Lore: David Bowie and Mick Ronson produced the album, adding strings, piano, and glam polish without sanding away Reed’s deadpan New York voice.
- Media Narrative: “Walk on the Wild Side” brought drag queens, hustlers, and Warhol Factory figures onto mainstream radio, turning underground New York lives into one of rock’s strangest hits.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
