Release Notes:



Matador Records are thrilled to announce that they are

releasing ?erlin: Live At St. Ann's Warehouse' by Lou Reed to

coincide with the release of Julian Schnabel's 'Berlin' on

DVD.



Upon the 1973 release of 'Berlin', Lou Reed's controversial

successor to the wildly popular 'Transformer', Rolling Stone's

Stephen Davis described it thus; 'certain records so patently

offensive that one wishes to take some kind of physical

vengeance on the artists that perpetrate them... a distorted

and degenerate demimonde of paranoia, schizophrenia,

degradation, pill-induced violence and suicide'. A earnest

pan, yes, but also a fabulous pull quote. Thirty years later,

the very same magazine named it one of the 500 Greatest Albums

Of All Time.



Staging 'Berlin' had been discussed for over 30 years, and in

December of 2006 it became a reality, over four days at St.

Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn. It was the first time Reed

performed the album live. The film 'Berlin' - released in the

UK by Artificial Eye at the same time as the album - by

acclaimed painter-turned-director Julian Schnabel ('Basquiat',

'Before Night Falls', 'The Diving Bell & The Butterfly'),

documents these historic performances.
