A year after John Cale's 'Paris 1919' LP, Lou Reed released 'Rock 'n' Roll Animal' on RCA Records in February 1974, shortly after I started working for a design company that had this as one of their account. (*See story below) 

Opening the album was a seven minute version of 'Sweet Jane', that had an intro added by Steve Hunter and played with Dick Wagner as a twin guitar 3 minute lead in to the spine tingling classic riff and Lou Reed walking on stage to great applause. 

The video is very grainy but the sound is spot on. 'Rolling Stone' editor Timothy Ferris described 'Rock 'n' Roll Animal' as "a record to be played loud" - so you know what to do >

* During the summer of 1974 we were asked to provide various slides for a General Meeting presentation featuring RCA artists. Lou Reed had just released a new album 'Sally Can't Dance' and we therefore recreated his name in the same style as the record cover for his slide.
