Lou Reed: The RCA & Arista Album Collection (Sony Legacy)
In a nutshell: If you are a Lou Reed fan, you should get this seventeen-cd box set regardless of how much of its contents you already own. Everything has been remastered; I compared the sound on six albums I have earlier CDs of (I did not compare the new CDs to my old vinyl, as that's apples and oranges), and on five the sound is greatly improved, more focused and with greater clarity; The Bells in particular has its murky sound fixed but retains its darkness.

Claude Giroux, No. 28 of the Philadelphia Flyers, is stopped on a breakaway by Tim Thomas, No. 30 of the Boston Bruins, during the 2010 Bridgestone Winter Classic at Boston’s Fenway Park, January 1, 2010. By Jim McIsaac/Getty Images. Boston has so many fine sporting traditions—the Head of the Charles, the marathon, the Red Sox—that it’s easy to forget that it’s also a hockey town. Bostonians, as Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy noted this past wintry weekend, are a “people of ice, blades, laces, and warm breath blowing through cold air.” The occasion for all this rhapsodizing was the N.H.L.’s third Bridgestone Winter Classic, an annual outdoor game that’s proven to be an extremely savvy (and profitable) combination of old-school charm and modern marketing. This year’s edition, which had the local Bruins facing off against a historic rival on a sheet of ice in Fenway...
