I agree with you. Following Rock and Roll Heart, Lou's put together a streak of six good to great studio albums (starting with Street Hassle and ending with New Sensations). But he made up for the unevenness of Mistrial with New York - one of his best! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I think of "Heroin" I still think of this version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 All of this Lou got me to put this one on. One of my faves. It's a shame that he and Quine couldn't get along better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chez Posted April 21 Author Report Share Posted April 21 By the way, I'm officially done with my (recent) Lou Reed immersion. I checked out his box set from the library a few weeks ago and was able to plug some holes in my collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
