THIRD MAN ANNOUNCES WHITE STRIPES VAULT PACKAGE
Live In Mississippi Double LP, "Signed DC"/"I've Been Loving You Too Long" 7-inch, Under Moorhead Lights All Fargo Night DVD
Available Exclusively To Vault Members
New Members Must Register By End Of April To Qualify For This Package At www.thirdmanrecords.com
Third Man Records is excited to announce an upcoming Vault package documenting three decidedly different eras of the White Stripes.
First is Live in Mississippi, a recording of the White Stripes' final live concert from July 31st, 2007 in Southaven, Mississippi. Presented in crystalline audio quality and spread across 2 LP's pressed on 180-gram vinyl, this recording is (arguably) the band at the top of their game. With the local geography looming large on their minds, the set list is decidedly heavy on the blues and features covers of songs by Robert Johnson, Son House and Leadbelly. The rest of the set includes songs from all six of the White Stripes' studio albums and the show is offered in its entirety.
This quarter's 7-inch features some of the White Stripes' very first recordings. The a-side is a haunting, stark version of "Signed DC," a cover of the band Love's original from its self-titled 1966 debut. The flipside is a breathtaking rendition of the Otis Redding classic "I've Been Loving You Too Long." Recorded in Detroit in September of 1997 a mere two months after the Stripes' live debut, this single provides a heretofore unheard era of the band. Although their debut single "Let's Shake Hands" wouldn't be released for another eight months, this recording shows how fully-formed the general idea, aesthetic and approach of the White Stripes was from the very start.
The final component of this collection is a DVD entitled Under Moorhead Lights All Fargo Night. Recorded at Ralph's Corner Bar in Moorhead, Minnesota on June 13th, 2000, this previously unseen footage captures the band immediately following the release of their sophomore album De Stijl on what was their first extended bout of touring across the United States. Performing for only a handful of people, the show is heavy on the band's earlier material with a spirited cover of Iggy Pop's "I'm Bored" being of particular excitement and note.
The package is available exclusively to Vault members. New members must register at www.thirdmanrecords.com by the end of April in order to qualify for it.
