The album is
White Light/White Heat (1968), an album which gave a great deal of inspiration to David Bowie, among others...
I went back to YT and found there are a surprising number of live action videos for

One of the videos I found is actually a mash-up, but not in the usual sense of hybridizing two different songs to make a new whole; in this case, the musical track from the original VU recording is mashed-u with a vocal track of another noted Welshman reading a piece by Dylan Thomas:
