Description: Lou Reed’s self‑titled 1972 solo debut finds him staring out from a stark, almost ghostly portrait that belies the chaos and reinvention brewing beneath the surface. Shot at 390 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, the cover feels oddly corporate for the former Velvet Underground frontman, as if he’s wandered into the buttoned‑down business district with downtown songs still ringing in his ears. The tension between that clean, uptown façade and Reed’s underground legacy turns this otherwise simple image into a snapshot of an artist between worlds, leaving the Velvets behind and not yet the Transformer icon.
