[Review]
In memory of Lou Reed, a massively influential songwriter and guitarist who helped shape nearly fifty years of rock music. "New York" is arguably Lou Reed's greatest hour as a solo artist. A song-cycle about his beloved city in the '80s, Reed adopts a conversational tone to discuss politics, AIDS, romance, TV preachers, and whatever else is on his mind. While his voice never ranges far, the album kicks into high gear with the twin guitar attack of Reed and Mike Rathke, which takes simple, three-chord rock into a truly transcendent space. 'Romeo Had Juliette' cruises like a cab down a bumpy avenue, while 'Strawman' curls with rage. Like the city that gives it its name, "New York" never rests. (by Rob O'Connor).

Great record. Can't wait to hear it explode from my speakers. Thank you.
I hadn't played this record for 10 years, but, if I remember correctly, the original CD is not bad at all. Nevertheless, your transfer is far superior in every aspect. A thing of beauty. Massive thanks for ripping and sharing this great album!
All the best,
Walter
