Remember the awesome giveaway Bowers & Wilkins offered you, Shockya readers. Well, it involved the opportunity to win tickets to listen to the new Metallica and Lou Reed album, “Lulu”, as well as meet the members of the event. Bowers & Wilkins Sound Sessions gave the grand prizewinner two domestic round trip tickets, two nights hotel, two VIP passes to the event and two pairs of Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones. Five runners-up also won tickets and headphones.

The event came and went on October 24th in New York City. If you were unable to attend, don’t worry because Bowers & Wilkins released a short and full version video for the “LuLu” event with footage of the band and Lou Reed talking about the collaboration. Obviously nothing beats the real thing, but you can still see the party’s inventive decorating that included various images of the mannequin on the “LuLu” cover.

If you didn’t even enter the giveaway contest, all will be forgiven if you head on over to iTunes now and purchase the album. Hey, you can still have your own “LuLu” event at your house just minus Lou Reed and Metallica.
