Lou Reed 70年代作品精选。
by Richie Unterberger
Lou Reed is very much an album-oriented artist, and those who think they may develop a serious interest in his work are better advised to seek individual titles than compilations. If you just want some of his best songs around the house, though, this is a well-chosen, economic 17-track survey of his best material from his best period as a solo act (the early to mid-'70s). Drawing most heavily from the Transformer and Berlin albums, this has his most famous/notorious early solo works (&Walk on the Wild Side,& &Vicious,& &Satellite of Love,& &Caroline Says&), some inferior but notably different remakes of songs he recorded with the Velvet Underground (&Lisa Says,& &I Can't Stand It,& &Sweet Jane&), and other high points like &Kill Your Sons& and &Coney Island Baby.&
