STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY CELLOPHANE.....
Original 1974 first pressing in thick gatefold of a killer hardrock album, unlike LOU REED was EVER involved in ... double heavy guitar fire-power enhance all tracks includes the legendary six-string stinger DICK WAGNER who fronted FROST, URSA MAJOR and ALICE COOPER

Recorded at The Academy of Music in New York City in 1973, this is one of the better live rock albums in existence, next to the WHO's LIVE AT LEEDS, of course. Lou Reed let loose some mightily fine HARD & heavies at this show. "ROCK & ROLL ANIMAL" is more a great guitar LP than perhaps anything else. Lou doesn't even play his own guitar on these cuts, as he didn't need to, he had the powerful double guitar attack of Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner (from Detroit's "FROST/URDA MAJOR & ALICE COOPER") behind him. The album's opening number, "Intro", starts off with some of the best live guitar playing ever to land on any rock album, and once Lou joins in on vocals, as the music moves on to the classic "Sweet Jane", from Lou's Velvet Underground days, it just gets better." Intro/Sweet Jane" is one of those numbers that is rated a ten and should be rated even higher, as the guitars just explode! With that said, you won't be able to forget that the main guitar riff to "Sweet Jane", played here in the same way it was played on the Velvet Underground's studio cut of the song, is really the very same guitar riff first played by Jimmy Page in 1965 on Them's hit single, "Here Comes the Night".
For song two, we hear another Velvet Underground tune, the classic, "Heroin". In part thanks to this band, this is another one that sounds better here live than the Velvet's studio version. Many rock fans point to this song as perhaps rock's best written drug song, and on this night Lou once again makes you feel the sting of the lyrics.
Another Velvet Underground number that also sounds great here, is the LP's closing tune, "Rock 'n Roll", clocking in at just under ten minutes and like "Heroin", it is full of all kinds of new life played live with this band, more exploding guitars. Then finally there's "White Lighting/White Heat" - the fourth song of the Velvet's found on this LP; it is on par with "Rock 'n Roll" and the others; man, this backing band was just on fire when this concert was recorded!

All said, Rock 'N' Roll Animal rates high and a remains a special listen...
