In homage to the original US pressing of the album, Elephant mono is pressed on opaque white and opaque red discs.Īdditionally, we've included Jack White's original solo demo of "Hypnotize" in two markedly different mixes here. The goal is to harken back to other similar experiments (like our first-ever Vault package, Icky Thump mono) while shedding light on the nuance and craft contained both in the performance and the mix of this album. We know how near and dear it is to all of the White Stripes fans out there.
The idea here isn't to try and COMPLETELY REIMAGINE the Elephant album. Revelations abound, truly gems to be discovered and dissected by die-hards and fairweather alike. The snippets and snapshots of studio banter before and after takes? You bet we left it in. A long lost lyric edited out of "Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine"? Faithfully restored here. An extra four bars at the end of the canonical "Seven Nation Army"? Completely forgotten by all involved until now.
Mixed by Jack White and Bill Skibbe at Third Man Studio in Nashville, the work was executed on the same Calrec board used to complete the original stereo mix of Elephant at Toe Rag Studios in London back in 2002.Īs these particular tapes had not been spun in nearly twenty years, little surprises and treasures slowly began to reveal themselves at every turn. The centerpiece of this set is an all new, direct-from-the-original multitrack tapes MONO remix of the entire Elephant album.
#THIRD MAN VAULT 55 SERIES#
If ever a singularly magical moment exists in the history of The White Stripes, it is likely the release and ensuing hubbub behind their 2003 album Elephant.Īs explosive initial releases are ever-deserving of further examination and celebration, it should come as no surprise that the 55th installment of Third Man Records Vault subscription series is the twentieth anniversary collection Elephant XX. The work an artist creates on the precipice of their star turn, with attention solidly focused on them.well, those are the moments that become truly magical. Sign up is open now through January 31 at midnight CST here. In addition to a new mono remix of the entire album on red and white LPs, this package includes a red glitter 7" with Jack White's original solo demos of Elephant fan favorite "Hypnotize," a DVD with never-before-seen footage from the era, and a 28-page booklet of previously-unshared photos, all housed in a custom slipcase. (Big Hassle) Third Man Records is excited to announce Vault Package #55, The White Stripes - Elephant XX, the 20th anniversary expanded accompaniment to the band's seminal 2003 album.
