Track Of The Day: Lou Reed - Andy's Chest (RCA)

 

The  second  track from an album that I haven’t listened to from start to finish for a very long time. Most of the tracks are very well-known, but not all, and listening to this, then opening track, takes me back to a place when even though I had nothing, I was very happy. I guess getting stoned most days of the year for years played a part, and when I used to listen to this that was the order of the day. More because of the crowd I was hanging out with who liked this record more than anything else. Other friend groups weren’t quite so enthusiastic. Lou Reed was, in the early-mid 80s prime stoned scal fare. As was Bowie,  Pink Floyd and Marillion. Loads of others of course. Anything went,
