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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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

Chez Report post Posted 20 hours ago 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
