Notes

Misprinted jacket with front cover pasted on upside-down. The front cover is also heavily skewed to the left so that the "D" in UNDERGROUND gets cut off, and the spine text is about 1/2" in from the right edge (next to the jacket opening). Back cover is correctly positioned.

Original US stereo pressing (East Coast):
- Visible skull tattoo on front cover.
- Track listing on back mis-titles "Here She Comes Now" as "There She Comes Now"
- Back cover credits Lou Reed for "Lead Guitar" rather than just "Guitar"
- Andy Warhol is credited on back cover
- spine reads "V6-5046 WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT THE VELVET UNDERGROUND VERVE"
- "Three Prong Music" publishing credit on all tracks.
