Lou Reed – Rock n Roll Animal

I seem to be on my hundredth cold for the season. So it’s a slow Sunday here. I have not spun this in a very long time. I bought a copy of this for my friend when I was 16 from Bank Street Records (sadly no longer around – the shop I mean). The guy who owned it was an English bloke with big sideburns from memory. He was impressed I was buying this and we chatted about Lou Reed touring. I bought my own copy shortly after. It was my friend who got me into the Velvet's and Lou Reed etc. Lou is a problematic fave but I hardly go back to this stuff anymore. Putting this on reminded me of spinning records in my bedroom on my record player from my grandfather. This is more guitar solo heavy then I remember it being. White Light/White Heat still sounded great loud. It’s one of the handful of live albums I own.
