{"product_id":"white-lightwhite-heat-the-velvet-underground-daybyday","title":"White Light\/White Heat: The Velvet Underground day-by-day","description":"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 VUs 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  their monochrome look and photo-realist lyrics at odds with the garish colours 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 VUs reputation started to spread. In White Light\/White Heat  noted rock writer and historian Richie Unterberger analyses the bands career and influence in forensic 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.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44640209371189,"sku":"ByrdShop_1906002223","price":316.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1906002223_7dd78cc2-b661-4169-a6c6-50bcf7fe2904.jpg?v=1765203548","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/white-lightwhite-heat-the-velvet-underground-daybyday","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
