Product Details

Lou Reed wrote *Magic & Loss* while grieving the deaths of two close friends to cancer, and that weight is audible in every track. Released in 1992, it stands apart in his catalog as a song cycle rather than a conventional album, demanding to be heard front to back. For fans who lived through the era, it remains one of rock's most unflinching meditations on mortality.


1992 set of 14 songs about loss, illness, & mortality. Sire.
