BERLIN - Lou Reed - 1998 CD - RCA 07863 67489-2 - Huntsville Pressing

Description: Berlin is the third solo studio album by American rock musician Lou Reed, originally released on vinyl in October 1973 by RCA Records. A concept album, Berlin tells the story of a couple's struggle with drug addiction and abuse. It addresses themes of drug use, prostitution, depressing, domestic violence and suicide. The concept was created when producer Bob Ezrin mentioned to Reed that although the stories told by Reed's songs had great beginnings, they never really had an ending. Specifically, Ezrin wanted to know what happened to the couple from "Berlin" – a song from Reed's first solo album. Initially, critical reception was mixed but appraisals of the album have warmed over the years: in 1973 Rolling Stone declared the album "a disaster", but by 2003 the album was ranked No. 344 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, with the album maintaining this position in a 2012 update of the list. The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. THIS COPY is a Huntsville pressing on CD from 1998 on the RCA label (see Notes, below). The CD, jewelcase and fold-out booklet are all in excellent condition. This is one of my favorites!
