Lou Reed: Transformer (RCA)
Ray Fox-Cumming, Disc and Music Echo, 2 December 1972
THOSE OF you kind enough to read the idiocies I write to introduce the live gigs will know that, as far as I'm concerned, Lou Reed is the bees knees of the business. So when I tell you that Transformer is the best album I've ever heard bar none, remember I'm biased.
