From Original Description: As 2015 marks ten years since the release of the White Stripes’ Get Behind Me Satan album and  tour, Third Man Records is proud to use that as the focus of its 23rd Vault package. Completely  dedicated to the White Stripes and highlighting their time in South America in 2005, this release  should leave fans beyond satisfied.
Anchoring the box is the double LP Under Amazonian Lights recorded live in Manaus, Brazil on  June 1st, 2005. Described by the local press as “deliciously irresponsible” and the first rock  concert ever at the grand Teatro Amazonas Opera House, the performance that night was nothing  short of amazing. Featuring a sublime cover of Bob Dylan’s “Lovesick Blues”, two versions (one  electric, one acoustic) of “The Same Boy You’ve Always Known,” two versions of “Passive  Manipulation” (both sublime), a snippet of Howlin Wolf’s “I Asked For Water,” and ample  marimba on “The Nurse,” and what you have is one of the most iconic and memorable shows the  White Stripes ever played. Both LPs will be pressed on blood red vinyl with stark black wisps.
So it should come as no surprise that we’d pair this LP with DVD footage from that performance.  Words do not ably describe the beauty of the Teatro Amazonas nor the furor riled up by the White  Stripes appearance. Not only was there fear that the amplification of the band would cause the plaster in the building to crack and possible fall and injure attendees, but out of  custom/fear/lord-knows-what the crowd remained seated until being explicitly asked to stand from the stage by Jack White himself. If that wasn’t enough, during the show Jack and Meg ventured  outside the venue to play an entirely unamplified version of “We Are Going to Be Friends” for the  assembled multitude of fans unable to purchase tickets and watching the performance via  closed-circuit feed. The resultant melee was arguably a riot and was lovingly captured by the film  crew documenting that evening’s importance. All together what it makes is one of the best true rock and roll moments of the past decade. Heck, Jack White even got married that day.
The accompanying 7” single is a perfect example of the material the Vault was explicitly created to release. “Let You Down” is a solo recording done by Jack White roundabout the year 2000.  Featuring both electric guitar and electric bass, the true meat here is the multi-tracked four-part  harmony voiced by White throughout the song. The entirety of lyrics here “No I’m never, no I’m  never, no I’m never gonna let you down now” would be repurposed into the White Stripes 2005 recording “The Nurse” and the overall germination illustrated here is devilishly insightful. The  b-side “Ain’t No Sweeter Than Rita Blues” is a quintessential White Stripes guitar/drums outtake  instrumental that was recorded during the tracking of Get Behind Me Satan and subsequently  unused and forgotten for the past ten years. Dare we say it’s everything you hope it would be,  pressed on wonderful white vinyl and ready for your love.
If that was not enough (and really, it should be) Third Man has decided to throw caution to the wind and absolutely overload this package with more extras than any sane record label would ever  consider. We’ve poked the Grammy Award-winning designer Rob Jones to put together a collection  of newly designed postcards celebrating the White Stripes performances in Brazil in 2005. In one  word…stunning. Rob was gracious enough to throw in a badass death head monkey design that was so tasty we had to turn it into substantive enamel pin. A silk-screened White Stripes poster with some  super-secret hidden glow in the dark graphics was a no-brainer. If you’re wondering where you’ll  keep this vast assortment of sundries, worry you no longer…a soft touch, telescoping box with the  same devilish death head monkey graphic on the cover will become a new member in Vault  households worldwide. Join the family now.
