Released in 2013,
Original Album Series
offers five
Lou Reed
albums from the middle period of his solo career -- 1989's
New York
to 2000's
Ecstasy
-- for a budget price. The packaging is basic to save costs, with each album in a paper sleeve that replicates the artwork. The first two albums of the series,
and
Songs for Drella
, are the most essential of the bunch, but this is a quick and cheap way to get
Magic and Loss
,
Set the Twilight Reeling
, and
as well, since each has its moments.
