Kicked off with I Love You, Suzanne, as close as Lou Reed ever came to a straight pop song, New Sensations is the most uniquely positive album in Reed s canon. Also featuring the title track and My Friend George, New Sensations introduced Reed to a new, younger audience through MTV and major college radio airplay. However, longtime fans took heart in the fact that Lou s legendary sarcasm was still very much intact. Out of print in the U.S. for well over a decade, New Sensations will be reissued by Iconoclassic Records digitally remastered from the original master tapes, with new liner notes and expanded packaging.
