Original Album Series

2013 five CD box set containing a quintet of albums packaged in cardboard mini LP sleeves and housed in a slipcase. Lou Reed, the former frontman of legendary New York rock band The Velvet Underground, established himself as a solo artist after quitting the band in 1970 and is still active today. The five albums in this collection are his first five with Sire Records. They span the years 1989-2000, and include his most successful album, New York, which features one of Reed's most loved songs, 'Dirty Blvd'. New York's follow-up album, Songs For Drella was an acclaimed collaboration with ex band mate John Cale. Other highlights in this collection include the UK top 40 charting 'NYC Man' on Set the Twilight Reeling, and the memorable title track from Ecstasy.
