i thought these would've come out domestically by now, but i scored Japanese versions a couple/few years ago of wl/wh, s/t, 1969 live, and V.U. the only one that's not a big improvement is '69 live. both white light, and the velvet underground really sound noticeably "better"(IMO) than the mid-1990's releases. and v.u. sounds greatly improved over its original cd release

yeah, there are interviews from around the time where he sounds pretty hippie-ish. talking about auras, how "white light" is the white light of consciousness or something. drinking honey from a jar. lou reed, flower child.
i have no doubt that hunter is good at guitar but i think what i love about the white light/white heat stuff, per se, is that the originals make a virtue of playing that some (not me) might describe as *not good guitar playing, and that kind of "*not good guitar playing" is what i like to hear in those songs. but again, it was a long time ago since i heard that record, and the last time i even thought about it was when brad from deerhunter told me that his cousin used to have a poster of it on his wall when brad was a baby, and his earliest memory was getting freaked out by rock'n'roll animal lou while having his diaper changed. 2ff7e9595c
