LOU REED / LAURIE ANDERSON / LESTER BANGS ~ 2 x CD & P/B BOOK ~ PSYCHOTIC REACTIONS AND CARBURETOR DUNG / BRIGHT RED - TIGHTROPE / NYC MAN, LOU REED, THE COLLECTION.
Who wants to play the guess the connections parlor game...?
Two CD albums featuring Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson, one a double disc collection of vaguely Best Of Reed material, solo and with the Velvet Underground, and which includes studio and live tracks, the other is an album in two parts by Laurie Anderson, with Lou Reed making an appearance, as any good husband would, and, finally, changing the format a bit, there's a compendium of the writings of the one-and-only Lester Bangs, 1960's and 1970s Rock journalism at its most idiosyncratic, and which features lengthy musings on Lou Reed, interviews, insults traded, Metal Machine Music being the main culprit...hugely entertaining and a million miles away from what passes as journalism these days...
