Classic Albums: 3x4

Lou Reed: Transformer

Co-produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson, this 1972 landmark album took Lou Reed from cult idol to glam superstar status. Here Reed examines each track, discussing with engineer Ken Scott the creation process. Bassist Herbie Flowers shows us how the riff for ‘Walk On The Wild Side’, was recorded, and we see some archives of Lou’s performances.
