Description
White Light/White Heat is the second studio album by American rock band The Velvet Underground, released in 1968. It was the band's last with violist and founding member John Cale. In 2003, the album was ranked #293 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
The album cover to White Light/White Heat is a faint image of a tattoo of a skull. The picture of the tattooed arm was photographed, enlarged and distorted by Billy Name, one of the members of the Factory. It is difficult to distinguish the tattoo, as the image is black, printed on a slightly lighter black background. On this cover, the album name, the Verve logo, and the band name are all on one line.
An alternative cover was used for Polydor's mid-1980s reissues. This cover had a completely black background, without the arm in the background. On this version, the album name, Verve logo, and band name are printed on three separate lines.

All items sold as is.
All questions answered.
I ONLY ship outside USA if you agree to pay actual postage. The USA post office OFTEN quotes one price for mailing, but then when I go to mail the item, it is a higher price, because of their scales being unbalanced. I cannot afford to lose money on postage costs. SORRY--But if you bid on ANY CD/cassette/videotape/album..it's ACTUAL postage. (If you are outside the USA)
AND...you agree that once I ship it, its no longer my responsibility, as there's no
affordable way to track shipping outside the USA.
THANKS FOR BIDDING!!
