Not really a Lou Reed fan or hater but this talk about him has made me want to pull out my copy of Lulu on vinyl and see how it stacks up against the CD. Been waiting for the right moment to do so and this seems like such a time. I'm not holding my breath though.
Edit
I wasn't sure at first what to think, but the more I heard of the vinyl the more I started liking it. I think it's very well done and I had a hell of a time. Certainly a very pleasant surprise and I am now very satisfied about my purchase, especially since the double vinyl only set me back the cost of one full-priced CD.
Now enjoying Ishome's live set at One Tune Studio. Thank you YouTube for the recommendation.

This 3 CD set spanning 4 decades is a great overview of purely essentials.
Amazon: It's about time the record-buying public was offered up a decent, updated Dylan compilation! Think of this, then, as your Dummies' Guide to Dylan. This is a triple-disc edition with deluxe packaging and nifty artwork. Even the most marginal fan might quibble with the selection--but there's not a mediocre song on here. it is such a pleasure to watch Dylan's progression, to listen as he so quickly works through his influences, goes electric, discovers country music and then God—and then finally somehow wraps it all up together like some alchemical, one-man version of Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music. No matter how you wrap it up, or which commercials it acts as the soundtrack to, or what professors might try to eulogize it to death, this is music that remains as thrillingly alive today as a rattlesnake coiled and hissing in your boots tomorrow morning. --Mike McGonigal
