Guildford: Genesis Publications, 2003. [Rock and Pop] SIGNED DELUXE EDITION. Folio. Number 256 of 350 deluxe copies SIGNED by Lou Reed and Mick Rock on the title page. The total edition was 2,000, but Reed died before he could sign the 1,650 non-deluxe copies, which consequently only bear his facsimile signature alongside Rock's signature. Illustrated in colour and in black and white throughout. Original sheep, spine lettered in gilt, cover design after the original album art, pictorial endpapers, gilt edges. Also enclosed is a vinyl with the tracks "Walk on the Wild Side" and "Coney Island Baby", and a print signed by Mick Rock in a black envelope. Housed in the original black cloth folding box, within the cardboard box as issued. A fine, as new copy, still in the original card mailer. Lou Reed's 1972 album Transformer established his reputation as a solo artist, with Mick Rock providing the photograph used as the cover art. Rock continued to photograph Reed throughout the 1970s, and the present book gathers these photographs alongside commentary and recollections by Reed and Rock. Item #63768
