About This Item

New York: N.p., 1975. Vintage press booklet for Lou Reed's 1975 album "Coney Island Baby," designed by Andrew Wylie with photographs by Mick Rock. Containing edited lyrics from the album's title track, and featuring quotes by Lester Bangs, David Bowie, Ralph J. Gleason, John Rockwell, and Andy Warhol. Rare.

An unusual press booklet, befitting Reed's output of the 1970s, designed and produced in a decidedly 1970s DIY New York underground style by Andrew Wylie, who in the 1980s would become Reed's long term literary agent.

8.5 x 10.75, side-stapled in card wrappers. Four pages. Faint rubbing to the wrappers, with light toning overall, else Near Fine. Crisp and clean.
