    5.0 out of 5 stars "..profound dream of the damned..." the Outsider....Lou Reed
    Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    That was part of the description that critic Paul Nelson used for Reed's performance on the song "Coney Island Baby" the closer to this album. Nelson was one of the greatest folk/rock critics that ever lived. He was pivotal in the careers of Dylan and Springsteen and many others. The whole review is included in the package for this CD and it is a great review. the kind you don't see anymore and never will. Critics don't and can't write that way anymore. The "Business" and the suits have taken over and most everybody likes it that way. Nelson left in disgust, quit writing about rock and quit listening to it.....no wonder. All you have to do is read some of the so-called professional critics take on LULU and you see what I mean. One even said that LULU is what happens when artists have too much control because it's unlistenable. Idiot.

    Coney Island Baby was, in my opinion, Reed's first mature album and a masterpiece of the rock era. He was young, he was funny, almost romantic but no sentimental slob. He knew too much of the streets of NYC to fall for that. He was always an outsider, still is. The playing is first rate, crisp and clear. The remastering is almost as good as the original vinyl that I recall. Any Lou Reed fan has to have this in their collection. It's fun and it's real. It was obvious that this recording had a profound affect on one of the greatest bands, Dire Straits, especially Sultans of Swing. You can hear it in Knopfler's vocal and guitar phrasings. It's interesting that Knopfler did the sound track for "Last Exit to Brooklyn". Selby is one of Reed's greatest influences. And oh yeah, make sure you read Nelson's review inside.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Genuine bonus track
    Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2006
    Verified Purchase
    Differences in sound between the CD versions of the original album may be significant (although I think the original LP has superior sound overall) but for me the best thing about this CD is the earlier version of the song Coney Island Baby.

    1. It is beautifully recorded, mixed and mastered.

    2. I like the grittier sound to Reed's voice with lyrics more engagingly vernacular and conversational in delivery (rather than rehearsed umpteen times). The originally released version, although a work of art, always came across to me as a little too sappy in parts, particularly the ending with the (probably rehearsed) emotional catch in the voice.

    I'm so glad this happened - I've now got closure on this great song!

    If you're in any way a fan of Reed's art you gotta hear this! Thank you Lou Reed (vocals, guitar), Doug Yule (guitar, bass), Michael Fonfara (keys), Bob Meday (drums) and all others responsible.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Laid Back Lou -- What a Pleasure
    Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Alluring and seductive as Lou Reed's songs may be, very few come close to qualifying as "Easy Listening." (And so much the better.) On the other hand, even die-hard fans of the late Unofficial Mayor of New York probably don't want to listen to such harrowing classics as "Heroin" or "The Blue Mask" ALL the time. Which is something Reed himself would understand perfectly. As he put it in "New Sensations," a song from the 1980s, "It's easy enough to tell what is wrong / But that's not what I want to hear all night long / Some people are like human Tuinals."

    Ah, that acid wit! (Tuinals were the Xanax of the '70s.)

    So here we have "Coney Island Baby," a gorgeous record from 1976 brimming with artful hooks and catchy melodies. It's tuneful, at times even ghoulishly cheerful, and favors harmonies over feedback and distortion. Of course, the pretty surface is deceptive. Beneath the laid-back vibes and tasty guitar licks, it's business as usual for Reed's edgy, sometimes outrageous musings on the world. (Who else would come up with a couplet like, "If I ever see Sharon again, / I'm gonna punch her face in"?) "Kicks" is a menacing, foot-tapping classic, as is "She's My Best Friend," and the title song, in between moving but unlikely paeans to "the glory of love," features lines like, "Just remember that the city is a funny place, / Something like a circus or a sewer, / And different people have peculiar tastes...."

    Reed doesn't have to tell you, here or anywhere else, that "the city" is New York. You'd know it even if he never mentioned it. New York-obsessed New Yorkers can be flat-out bores, but Reed almost always managed to keep his obsession with the city fresh and interesting.

    No, of course this isn't his best record. It's just a really, really good record, if that will do. Of the eight original tracks, all but two are extremely hard to tire of. As for the "bonus" tracks, it's nice to have them but only one is a real stand-out. That's "Downtown Dirt," so deliciously seamy, so densely atmospheric, you feel as if you're standing right next to the singer in the Lower East Side, staring at "uptown women" with a taste for the low life, and at the "mattresses left out in the rain."

    It's hard to believe that this and all the other songs were put on vinyl almost 40 years ago. I won't claim that the music is timeless -- who knows? -- but as of right now, that's exactly how it sounds and what it is.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's pure Lou at his creative peak.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2016

    Okay, I'll just say it--Lou Reed was a freakin' GENIUS and his 1976 outing "Coney Island Baby' is yet further evidence of that fact. I have been aware of this album for years but had never listened to it all the way through until I bought this copy after hearing the track "Charley's Girl" on an episode of the TV show "Once Upon A Time". Who else but Lou would come up with a catchy, upbeat pop number about a girl who's screwed him over? This CD reissue is not only remastered for improved sound quality, it contains almost twice as many tracks as the original album, including four recorded with former Velvet Underground guitarist Doug Yule. That's just icing on an already rich cake.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Lou de mer
    Reviewed in France on March 21, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    "Coney Island Baby est sans doute l'album à posséder de Lou Reed avec "Transformer" et "Berlin". Bref, voilà un autre chef-d’œuvre, tout simplement. Le fait est que cet album est sans faille et propose un Lou Reed serein et détendu, si si ! L'air du bord de mer lui fait énormément de bien et il balance des morceaux énormes sans en avoir l'air. Les musiciens sont au taquet, notamment Michael Suchorsky, juste dément à la batterie et qui permet d'entrainer les titres dans des profondeurs inédites tandis que Bob Kulick délivre à la guitare de savoureux licks urbains. Tous les titres sont d'un cool délicieux, rarement entendu ailleurs. Et puis Lou est en voix comme rarement. Sa diction est juste géniale, totalement assurée et foncièrement décidée. C'est l'un de ses plus grands albums en tant que chanteur, tout simplement, et c'est un régal de chaque instant. La cerise est que la production est au diapason de tout cela, juste impeccable, mixant la coolitude et l'arrière-gout urbain à la perfection. Les textes, bien sûr, sont brillants, Lou Reed se permettant même des "Ooohhh Baby" et s'autoproclamant être un don pour toutes les femmes de ce monde. C'est juste dément, jusqu'à l'expérimental "Kicks", magistral et complètement réussi, du grand art brut, et bien évidemment ce sommet qu'est "Coney Island Baby", le titre qui donne son nom à l'album et qui est juste bouleversant, j'ai le frisson à chaque fois, Lou Reed à son plus touchant et poignant, là, les boots plantés sur le sable alors que les vagues viennent en lécher le bout tandis que le soleil se couche à l'horizon et qu'on se sent tout petit et qu'on a une boule serrée dans le fond de la gorge et que le petit vent n'est plus si chaud, finalement, et qu'on remonte un peu le col de son manteau, du coup. C'est juste superbe.
    La remasterisation est, de plus, réellement excellente, et six titres bonus sont inclus. Trois titres excellents tout d'abord mais pas dans le ton apaisé de l'album, ce qui pourrait expliquer leur exclusion: "Nowhere At all" et "Leave Me Alone" sont superbes mais trop tendus peut-être tandis que "Downtown Dirt", magnifique, est sans doute trop rampant. Mais en même temps, quand on entend ensuite les premières versions de "Crazy Feeling" et "She's My Best Friend", elles sonnent également plus énervées que les versions finales ! N'empêche, on termien par une version brute et primitive mais totalement près de l'os de "Coney Island Baby". Encore une fois, c'est beau à pleurer. Voilà, vous êtes prévenus, cet album doit être chez vous, c'est un pur chef-d’œuvre. Sacré Lou, quand on entend ce truc, impossible de ne pas crier au génie. Ce n'est pas le cas de tous ses albums, loin de là, alors autant en profiter comme il se doit quand c'est le cas. Unique et impeccable.
