Released in 1972 just a few months removed from his somewhat underground self-titled solo debut, Transformer immediately distinguished itself with a new sound and chart success thanks to the famous production duo of David Bowie and Mick Ronson. Reed’s signature guitar-driven rock is colored here with inventive arrangements and pop muscle, resulting in some of his best-known material such as “Walk on the Wild Side,” “Perfect Day” and “Satellite of Love.”
