Lou Reed


An Intense Journey into Toxic Relationships Balanced with Gorgeous Arrangements and Dark Humor: Lou Reed’s Conceptual Berlin Features A-List Cast and Bob Ezrin Production.

Sourced from the Original Master Tapes and Strictly Limited to 2,000 Numbered Copies: Mobile Fidelity’s Hybrid SACD Presents the Singer-Songwriter’s 1973 Album in Audiophile Quality.

Like the records he made with his first band, Berlin finds Lou Reed decades ahead of the times.Though dismissed upon its original release in 1973, the former Velvet Underground member’s third solo effort ultimately landed on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and remains one of his most lauded works.

Lou Reed does............Thick As A Brick? Who knows it might have been a conceptual influence!

One quirk is that track 5. (How Do You Think It Feels) is 10 seconds shorter than on earlier CD versions. Two repetitions/8 measures of the melody are missing at the beginning. I don't know what that might say about the 'Original Master Tape' that was used.

All the same it's a Very good SACD master whatever Lou's motivation might have been and you are unlikely to be disappointed with how it sounds.

It's a bit of a cult album so if you want a copy, it's probably best not to tarry. Mine is number 001108.
