Lou Reed's TRANSFORMER, his second album after the breakup of the Velvet Underground, has garnered a reputation as one of the best albums of the 1970s, and for good reason. A cohesive album whose more obscure tracks such as Andy's Chest and Goodnight Ladies hold up well against popular classics like Satellite of Love and Walk on the Wild Side, TRANSFORMER easily ranks with BERLIN and ROCK AND ROLL ANIMAL as one of Reed's most impressive post-VU accomplishments. This episode of the CLASSIC ALBUMS series takes a track-by-track look at the making of the record with both Reed and his engineer Ken Scott poring over the original multi-tracks for the album. Additionally, there is archival footage of the Velvet Underground, an interview with the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart and a discussion with bassist Herbie Flowers about the origins of the famous bassline for Walk on the Wild Side.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseLetterboxed - 1.85:1Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus
