[verbergen]  *1 Album  ==Album [  edit ] == After the disappointing sales of their debut album, The Velvet Underground and Nico, the group lost a bit of his relationship with Andy Warhol . Almost all the autumn of 1967 the band was on tour. In many of their performances they brought extensive documentation noisy improvisation, something that later would be an important element in the music of White Light / White Heat. [1 ] . Finally broke the tie with both Andy Warhol and Nico [2 ], and the group recorded his second album with a new producer. The shooting lasted only two days, and yielded a noticeably different style than the debut. It appeared as on the US Billboard Top 200 chart, where it briefly occupied the 199th place [3 ] . Despite the lull in the noise was - full of distortion , feedback and characterized by a rough recording sound - a major influence on later punk and experimental rock [4 ] . ===Numbers [  edit ] === Almost every song on the album has experimental or avant-garde elements. In "The Gift" is a short story terminated in one stereo channel, while at the same time echoed by another loud instrumental rock song. "I Heard Her Call My Name" is distinguished by its use of distortion and feedback.

The lyrics of Lou Reed often deal with drug abuse and sexual absurdities, such as "Lady Godiva's Operation" on a failed lobotomy of a transvestite and the title track "White Light / White Heat" that the use ofamphetamines glorified.

The image was photographed, enlarged and distorted by Billy Name, one of the members of Andy Warhol's " Factory ". The tattoo is difficult to distinguish because this black image is printed on a slightly lighter black background.
