Richard Robinson and Reed produced the album. It is the first commercially released pop album to employ binaural recording technology.[1] Street Hassle combines live concert tapes (with overdubs) and studio recordings. ProductionAll of the songs on Street Hassle were written by Reed, including "Real Good Time Together", a track that dates back to his days as a member of the Velvet Underground. The studio tracks were recorded in New York City, while the live recordings were made in Munich and Ludwigshafen, West Germany. Unlike most live albums, the audience is completely muted from the mix during the concert recordings. Bruce Springsteen contributed spoken vocals during the "Slipaway" section of "Street Hassle", alluding to his own Born to Run album in the final line. At the time, the singer was enduring a three-year forced hiatus from releasing any of his own work due to legal disputes with his former manager, although he was in the process of writing and recording music for his forthcoming album Darkness on the Edge of Town, to be released in June 1978. Springsteen was not credited for his performance in the liner notes to Street Hassle, possibly due to his ongoing legal battles. Binaural recordingThe recording of Street Hassle was notable in that Reed and his co-producer chose to employ an experimental microphone placement technique called binaural recording.[1] In binaural recording, two microphones are placed in the studio in an attempt to mimic the stereo sound of actually being in the room with the performers/instruments. In the case of the recording sessions and concerts that composed Street Hassle, engineers used a mannequin head with a microphone implanted in each ear. Binaural recordings are generally only effective when the user listens to the album through headphones, and do not generally translate correctly through stereo speakers. Reed's particular binaural recording system was developed by Manfred Schunke of the German company Delta Acoustics; Schunke is credited as an engineer on Street Hassle. Reed would continue to use the binaural recording style on two more releases: the 1978 concert album Take No Prisoners and the 1979 studio album The Bells. Songs and compositionAs was common on early Reed solo albums, Street Hassle contained a song originally written during Reed's days in the Velvet Underground—in this case, "Real Good Time Together," which had been previously released in 1974 on The Velvet Underground Live. "Dirt" is allegedly about his ex-manager, Dennis Katz. AllMusic has written that "the title cut, a three-movement poetic tone poem about life on the New York streets, is one of the most audacious and deeply moving moments of Reed's solo career."[3] Biographer Anthony DeCurtis describes the album as being largely motivated by and representative of the end of Reed's three-year relationship with Rachel Humphreys, a trans woman whose ultimate fate after Reed remains unknown. DeCurtis summarizes the title track as “something of a requiem for Reed and Rachel’s relationship.”.[2] In a 1979 article for Rolling Stone, Mikal Gilmore refers to Rachel as the "raison d'être" for the album as a whole.[3] Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = {{Rating|4|5}}[4] | rev2 = Chicago Tribune | rev2Score = {{Rating|4|4}}[5] |rev3 = Christgau's Record Guide |rev3Score = B+[6] | rev4 = Encyclopedia of Popular Music | rev4Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[7] | rev5 = The Rolling Stone Album Guide | rev5Score = {{Rating|3|5}}[8] | rev6 = Spin | rev6Score = {{Rating|3.5|5}}[9] | rev7 = Spin Alternative Record Guide | rev7Score = 7/10[10] | rev8 = The Village Voice | rev8Score = B[11] }} Street Hassle was met with mostly positive reviews, such as from Rolling Stone, which called the album "brilliant" and "a confession of failure that becomes a stunning, incandescent triumph—the best solo album Lou Reed has ever done."[12] Robert Christgau of The Village Voice, however, gave the album a lukewarm reception, observing that "despite the strength of much of the material," he found the album's "production muddled, its cynicism uninteresting, [and] its self-reference self-serving."[11] In a retrospective review, AllMusic noted that while "time has magnified its flaws," Street Hassle was "still among the most powerful and compelling albums [Reed] released during the 1970s, and too personal and affecting to ignore."[4]Track listingAll tracks written by Lou Reed.
