In November 1972, Transformer launched Lou Reed from the underground way up to Mars, with a little help from Starman Bowie. Mick Rock was there to capture Reed’s flight on film, beginning with the iconic album cover and continuing through the wild side of the Seventies.

40 years later, Lou Reed, rock icon, artist and poet, collaborated with legendary photographer Mick Rock in one of the most visually exciting books Genesis has ever produced.

‘I’m happy our relationship has weathered the slings and arrows and outrageous antics of the past 40 years, enabling us to come together to produce such a beautiful tome.’ Mick Rock

‘I received Transformer this week, and a magnificent publication it is too. A really fitting document of two exceptionally talented people, and up to Genesis’s superb production standards. I will treasure it for along time to come.’ – M. Whittingham, Subscriber, Singapore.

Images from throughout the Seventies chronicle Lou’s transformations from the unique perspective of a close friend. Transformer presents Lou’s choice of photographs, from the famous to the never-before-seen.
‘I like Mick and I like what he photographs, so shooting with him was never a problem. All these moments would be gone forever if it wasn’t for him.’ – Lou Reed
Showcasing several of Lou’s album covers, beginning with Transformer – a lucky development that established Mick and Lou’s 40-year friendship and became one of the most iconic images of modern music. The book also features unseen outtakes, studio sessions, spontaneous shots and friends including Andy Warhol, Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop and David Bowie.
‘Many people asked me to do a Transformer book, but when I knew Genesis wanted to do it, that was it. I wasn’t going to do it without Lou. It’s a collaboration. He chose the pictures that he loved.’ – Mick Rock.
