Description
A beautiful original 1972 U.S. Indianapolis pressing of Lou Reed’s landmark Transformer—the album that introduced “Walk on the Wild Side,” “Perfect Day,” and “Satellite of Love” while forever cementing Reed’s place among rock’s greatest songwriters.
This copy features the original all-analog RCA master cut and authentic Indianapolis pressing, identified by the original matrix sequence and lacquer information. The Side 1 matrix ending in 5S indicates the fifth lacquer cut prepared at RCA’s legendary Indianapolis plant, preserving the warm, dynamic sound collectors seek from early ’70s RCA pressings.
Even more desirable, this copy retains its original 1972 RCA company inner sleeve, a detail collectors appreciate because it helps preserve the album exactly as it left the factory more than fifty years ago.
Finding an original Transformer with exceptionally well-preserved Dynaflex vinyl has become increasingly difficult. Most surviving copies saw decades of heavy play, making clean, collector-grade originals like this far harder to find today than the album’s popularity might suggest.
