From www.theoriginalmickronson.com: Lou Reed's album, Transformer, was Mick Ronson's first co-production with David Bowie. Transformer was Reed's second album after having left the Velvet Underground. While not given formal credit for his role, Reed credited Ronson for his production work on the album citing Mick as "an incredible guitar player, a great producer and great arranger: a lovely man." The album yielded the single, "Walk On The Wild Side" and led to a relationship with drummer Richie Dharma who'd later tour with Ronson as well as play on his solo albums. Interviewed in 1990 in Goldmine magazine, Ronson recalled of the sessions: We were pretty sharp and that's how records were made back then. Records were done very quickly. I mean, when David and I produced Lou Reed's Transformer, we recorded the whole thing in 10 days, six hours a day. We recorded the whole thing in 60 hours and it was mixed and that was it.
