Zappa about the album

Interviewed by Mojo Magazine Lou Reed revealed that during the recording of White Light/White Heat Zappa and the Mothers were recording at the same studio. Reed said that the sound effect of a knife stabbing through the protagonist's skull in the song The Gift was actually suggested by Frank Zappa: "You'll get a better sound if you do it this way.", he said. According to Reed Zappa also said: "You know, I’m really surprised by how much I like your album." [1]
