Los Lobos - La Bamba
£4.49
After two critically acclaimed but only moderately selling albums, los Lobos were hired to record songs for the film biography of Hispanic '50s rocker Ritchie Valens, resulting in this soundtrack album, which, in addition to eight los Lobos recordings, features tracks by Marshall Crenshaw, Brian Setzer, & others. Los Lobos' remake of the title song topped the charts, as did this album, which went on to sell two million copies. The result has been something of a career dilemma for the b&, who ...

Lou Reed - Berlin
£5.49
Berlin was the musical equivalent of a drug-addled kid set loose in a candy store; the album's songs, which form a loose story line about a doomed romance between two chemically fueled bohemians, were fleshed out with a huge, boomy production (Bob Ezrin at his most grandiose) & arrangements overloaded with guitars, keyboards, horns, strings, & any other kitchen sink that was handy (the session band included Jack Bruce, Steve Winwood, Aynsley Dunbar, & Tony Levin). & while Reed had often ...

Lou Reed - Blue Mask
£5.99
In 1982, 12 years after he left the Velvet Underground, Lou Reed released The Blue Mask, the first album where he lived up to the potential he displayed in the most groundbreaking of all American rock bands. The Blue Mask was Reed's first album after he overcame a long-standing addiction to alcohol & drugs, & it reveals a renewed focus & dedication to craft -- for the first time in years, Reed had written an entire album's worth of moving, compelling songs, & was performing them with kee ...

Lou Reed - Legendary
Hearts
£7.99
If Legendary Hearts seemed like a disappointment in 1983, that was largely because the year before Lou Reed had released The Blue Mask, one of the finest albums of his career, & Legendary Hearts just wasn't quite as good. But pull it off the shelf today, give it a listen, & Legendary Hearts easily shuts down nearly anything Reed released in the 1970s; if it's a less obvious masterpiece than The Blue Mask, it makes clear that Reed was once again in firm command of his strengths, & making th ...

Lou Reed - Best Of

Featuring a selection of tracks from the Velvet Underground and Lou Reed's solo career, The Best of Lou Reed & the Velvet Underground hardly lives up to its title. Instead of featuring the "best" or even the most well-known, the disc runs through a random selection of songs that doesn't do justice to the Velvet Underground's legacy, nor to the erratic brilliance of Reed's solo career. Stephen Thomas Erlewine.
