Artist: Lou Reed
Softcover | 52 pages | 17.8 x 25 cm
Language: English
Condition: Excellent
A rare gem from the underground press, Rock’n’Roll Animal is an essential document for anyone drawn to the mythos of Lou Reed. Published in 1979 by Babylon Books in Manchester, this first edition bootleg traces Reed’s evolution from the raw minimalism of The Velvet Underground to his decadent, genre-defying solo ventures of the 1970s.
More than a biography, this 52-page volume offers sharp, unsentimental commentary and rare imagery that captures Reed’s uncompromising presence both on and off the stage. While it highlights key solo works like Transformer, its heart lies in the Velvet yearsa period that reshaped music, visual art, and counterculture with eerie precision.
Compact yet powerful, this book stands as both fan artifact and critical capsule—perfect for collectors of punk ephemera, Velvet Underground memorabilia, and radical rock history.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
The Story
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
