White Light. White Heat. The Velvet Underground Day by Day. Book. Softcover. 368 pages. Published by Jawbone Press. HL.332837. ISBN 1906002223. 8.5x10.6 inches. By turns fiercely confrontational, literate, primitive and sweetly melodic, The Velvet Underground remain one of the most influential bands in the history of rock. The ultimate cult band and the ultimate art rock experience, the VU's music and style have served as a blueprint for everyone from David Bowie to The Jesus and Mary Chain. Yet for all their enduring importance, they were unsuccessful in their day, selling minute numbers of records, with their monochrome look and photo-realist lyrics at odds with the garish colors and peace fantasies of the hippy era. It was only when David Bowie started to champion the band in the early 70s, after they had split up, that the VU's reputation started to spread. In White Light. White Heat , noted rock writer and historian Richie Unterberger analyses the band's career and influence in forsensic detail, drawing on many new interviews with band members and associates, previously undiscovered archive sources and a vast knowledge of the music of the times. The result is a comprehensive, articulate, immensely detailed history – the most thorough work on the band yet published.

Deur draaie fel konfronterend, geletterd, primitief en soet melodiese, The Velvet Underground een van die mees invloedryke bands bly in die geskiedenis van rock. Die uiteindelike kultus band en die uiteindelike kuns rock ondervinding, het die VU se musiek en styl as 'n bloudruk gedien vir almal van David Bowie aan Die Jesus en Maria Chain. Maar vir al hul blywende belang is, hulle was onsuksesvol in hul dag, verkoop minuut getalle van rekords, met hul monochroom kyk en foto-realistiese lirieke in stryd met die bont kleure en vrede fantasieë van die hippie era. Dit was eers toe David Bowie begin kampioen die band in die vroeë 70s, nadat hulle verdeel, dat die VU se reputasie begin te versprei. In White Light. White Heat, opgemerk rock skrywer en historikus Richie Unterberger ontleding van die groep se loopbaan en invloed in forsensic detail, teken op die baie nuwe onderhoude met die band lede en medewerkers, voorheen onontdekte argief bronne en 'n uitgebreide kennis van die musiek van die tye. Die resultaat is 'n omvattende, verwoord, geweldig gedetailleerde geskiedenis - die mees deeglike werk op die band nog gepubliseer.
