Good review, as expected from what I've seen of your member Journal. Like Bulldog, I also prefer Berlin to Transformer, and of Reed's catalog I wouldn't rate it his best album. I didn't realize before how different the two sides of Transformer really were. I knew David Bowie produced it and I picked up that some of his style was in there, but what I didn't know was all the jazz about Mick Ronson, who I haven't heard of until now. Glad to read and learn as always, maybe I'll give this album another spin.
