From recording their first album through rumors of the bandÆs demise and embarking on their first-ever tour, the band worked extremely hard and was fortunate to see small but incremental gains from their efforts. Third Man Records is humbled to explore the depths of the band, their self-titled album and the entirety of their 1999 for our 42nd Vault package, THE WHITE STRIPES XX. With only a handful of days spent recording in the cold, amenity-free studio in a Detroit January, it is of legitimate surprise the bounty of previously forgotten alternate takes and unreleased tracks that exist from said sessions. At a time when every last inch of tape meant dollars spent, the fact that ANYTHING extraneous was saved is not just remarkable, but a windfall for fans two decades later. While acolytes have previously heard ôDead Leavesö and ôLetÆs Build a Homeö on a 7-inch single as part of Vault package 11 from 2012 (both included here), they have not heard the acoustic demo of ôDead Leavesö, the alternate takes of ôJimmy the Exploderö or ôI Fought Piranhasö or ôWasting My Time.ö The explosive take on Burt Bacharach's (via Arthur Lee and Love) ôLittle Red Bookö busts the game wide open to the point of confusion, begging the questionà how was something THIS amazing left OFF the album? The version of ôScrewdriverö as released originally back in 1999 was recorded at Jack WhiteÆs domicile at 1203 Ferdinand in Southwest Detroit, while here weÆve uncovered the totally-different-vibe version done in the studio setting. Alternate takes of ôSugar Never Tasted So Goodö? ThereÆs two of æem. Multiple stabs at ôWhy CanÆt You Be Nicer to Me?ö fit in here nicely, though the tune was momentarily shelved before being reinvigorated and re-recorded for the bandÆs De Stijl nearly a year later. The tracks collected here present the listener with an alternate reality version of how ù after a few non-aberrant turns and divergent creative paths ù the White Stripes self-titled album could exist in a completely different space. Newly mixed by Jack White at his Third Man Studios in Nashville, TN, this is the level of material that the Vault was specifically created to share. Come September of 1999, the band was as surprised as anyone to have been invited to open three performances for indie rock favorites Pavement. Hitting respectable college towns in the South/East, the shows would find the Stripes in front of their largest crowds theyÆd encountered at that point in their career. A hyper-speed (read: nervous) version of the bandÆs set at the Recher Theater in Towson, Maryland has been shared in tape-trading circles for nearly 15 years, but it is the far-superior performance at the Ritz in Raleigh, North Carolina the following evening that finds Jack and Meg in top form. From the early workouts on fan-favorite covers like Dolly PartonÆs ôJoleneö and Brendan BensonÆs ôGood to Meö through the off-the-cuff take on Earl KingÆs (via the Gories) ôTrick Bagö and absolute bombastic runs of ôBroken Bricksö and ôThe Big Three Killed My Babyö show highlights how quickly the band was to find their footing in front of unfamiliar audiences, and ultimately, win them over. Additionally, Third Man has unearthed footage from two pivotal, game-changing live performances by the White Stripes in their hometown. The March 13th performance at PaycheckÆs in Hamtramck is remarkable for many reasons: a crowd sang along to a White Stripes song for the first time (ôSugar Never Tasted So Goodö), the band played their first-ever encore (ôSlicker Dripsö), and the group ultimately put to rest the conjecture that it would be their last-ever performance. The night was truly a watershed moment in the duoÆs history. Nearly two months later, their debut album is released and the May 30th performance celebrating its unveiling to the world is as equally groundbreaking and sublime. Highlights include the first public use of JackÆs soon-to-be-signature Airline Res-o-glass guitar, his first utilization of an ancillary, affected vocal microphone on stage, and the only known time Jack White licked a cartoonishly large faux peppermint while in the middle of a guitar solo. Finally, the coup de grace: an exhaustive, insightful, 11.75ö x 11.75ö booklet containing the bevy of photos, flyers, lyrics, receipts, musings and anything/everything that, at the time, probably seemed just like garbage, but now, twenty years later, provides all kinds of context and clues into how this odd dyad from Southwest Detroit was well on their way to a path of rock and roll flag-waving. https://www.thirdmanrecords.com/news/vault-package-42-the-white-stripes-xx/ RLS-Crc: 434F4A:E0E327E21572BF
