Lou Reed - Transformer (1972)
I haven’t finished with Bowie just yet. This record from 1972, coinciding with the release that year of Ziggy Stardust, is my third favourite Bowie record.

commentsFor me the last great Bowie record. It’s abrasive and harder edged in places than “Low” but is similarly radical with it’s mix of ambient textures.
commentsI remember like it was yesterday popping into one of many of my favourite record shops on my way home from school and hearing this complete game changer for the first time.
commentsThank fucking Christ for this record! This was a big return to form for the Thin White Duke. Nothing was ever conventional for Bowie after this record.
commentsThe single “Young Americans” was a real surprise when I first heard it on the radio. While the R&B sound was hinted at on “David Live” I don’t think anyone was expecting this.
