Another one I unearthed from the boxes in my basement, and another I forgot I had.

A glam rock record from Bowie’s guitarist in The Spiders From Mars, with orchestral arrangements; mixed with originals, covers and instrumentals. It’s the same lush sounding arrangements deployed on the early 70s Bowie albums.

The true gem here is “Only After Dark”, Ronson’s best known song about evening behaviours and desires.
There’s also a cool Bruce Springsteen cover of “Growing Up And I’m Fine”, a very obscure choice at the time by a then little-known artist from New Jersey.

Fun record.

Transformer is the second solo studio album by American musician Lou Reed. Produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson, the album was released on November 8, 1972 by RCA Records. It is considered an influential landmark of the glam rock genre, anchored by Reed's most successful single, "Walk on the Wild Side", which touched on controversial topics of sexual orientation, gender identity, prostitution, and drug use. Although Reed's self-titled debut solo album had been unsuccessful, Bowie had been an early fan of Reed's former band the Velvet Underground and used his fame to promote Reed, who had not yet achieved mainstream success. - Wikipedia
