Third Man Records Vault #33 LP WHITE STRIPES Icky Thump X Box Set - COMPLETE

$

120

This is the complete Vault #33 package from Third Man Records: Icky Thump X, commemorating the 10 year anniversary of Icky Thump's release.  Each record was vacuum cleaned and played once.  All records have been stored in protective covers (to avoid damaging the original sleeves) and stored with all other items in the original soft touch box.  Please view photos to see exactly what you'll be receiving, and message me for additional photos before purchasing.  The soft box cover has some minor creases visible in the photos.  It was hard to capture them with a camera, though, because they only show up in certain light. 

I am selling my records due to a life-changing event, and 10% of sales will benefit the American Cancer Society in honor of a loved one.  All records ship in protective sleeves outside the original covers to prevent seam splits during mailing.  For domestic orders please choose either media mail or Priority mail shipping via USPS.  I ship internationally through the eBay shipping program.  The Vault Package contents and descriptions appear below.  It includes three full albums (4 x LP's) and more!  Definitely the ULTIMATE White Stripes box set!

- Icky Thump X (2 LP) is the deluxe, “contained explosion” colored vinyl repressing of Icky Thump. Previously only ever available on boring black vinyl, this double LP, 180-gram vinyl dream is housed in a glorious tip-on sleeve with slightly modified artwork and sealed with a Victorian update on the original red/white sticker that was begrudgingly slit open by fidgety record collectors overly concerned with "condition." Remastered from the original 1” analog tapes in Nashville, TN, Icky Thump will be the first-ever Vault title manufactured at Third Man Pressing in Detroit.
- Icky Thump Extras (LP) joins live covers (Hank Williams’ “Tennessee Border”), alternate versions recorded in the middle of a horse-racing track in Canada (“You Don’t Know What Love Is…”) with Beck-produced exclusives (“It’s My Fault For Being Famous”) and couples them with newly re-imagined artwork from Grammy Award-winning designer Rob Jones. Consider this the first and last time any of these songs will appear on 12-inch vinyl, pressed on luminescent lunar-colored vinyl.
 - The Red Demos (LP) is a full run-through of the tracks in demo form to workshop ideas and get thoughts on tape at their Nashville rehearsal spot. This would prove to be the ONLY time the band would ever demo an album before recording. Forgotten by all involved in the intervening ten years, The Red Demos is a startling insight into the germination of the songs that would soon be blasted out at arenas and festivals the world over. Of particular interest is the first ever release of the instrumental “Monkeys Have It Easy”, a title previously teased via the original Icky Thump press release in 2007. Cover art depicts a working mock-up of the unedited image used on the original album and exists as the ideal compliment to both that original issue and the mono mix of Icky Thump from  Vault Package #1.
- Book of Polaroid photos, tracking notes and insight from Icky Thump session photographer and White Stripes’ confidante David Swanson. Comprised 100% of previously unseen and unshared material.
- One 8x10 White Stripes image by Rob Jones.
- "Rag and Bone" Enamel Pin Set Composed of TWO enamel pins that when combined depict the horse skeleton imagery originally featured on the 7-inch artwork for “Rag and Bone”
- Cross of St. Andrew Soft Touch Box that houses all of the items in a soft-touch coated telescoping box that reproduces the cross of St. Andrew used as an important graphic in Icky Thump’s issue ten years ago and rendered even more poignant now as the specific version of that cross (the Cross of Burgundy) - forming the shape of an X.
