Published in 1992 by Daiei Publishing. This is the first biography chronicling the artistic life of the great rock poet, Lou Reed. From his days with the Velvet Underground to his solo career, the many "strategies" he employed in the format of pop songs are revealed. Condition: This is a vintage book from over 30 years ago, but it has been carefully stored with its obi (sash). There is some slight yellowing due to aging, but it does not interfere with reading, and the condition is good for a book of this age. * Obi has a tear (photo 4)
