Velvet Underground ----- White Light/White Heat (album)
On January 30, 1968, The Velvet Underground released their second studio album “White Light/White Heat” featuring “White Light/White Heat" “The Gift" “Here She Comes Now” and “Sister Ray”. It was the band's last studio recording to feature founding member John Cale.
White Light/White Heat sold fewer copies than The Velvet Underground & Nico, and peaked at 199 on the Billboard Top LPs chart. The album's only single, "White Light/White Heat", failed to chart, which the band blamed on airplay bans and lack of promotion from Verve. The album was dismissed by many contemporary mainstream music critics, although underground newspapers took notice. Ultimately, White Light/White Heat had a hugely significant impact on early forms of punk rock and no wave and has appeared on several lists of the greatest albums of all time.
