FIRST TIME ON VINYL SINCE 2003 ULTRA RARE WHITE STRIPES SHOW!
3LP, 7INCH, BUMPER STICKERS AND ROB JONES PRINTS VAULT PACKAGE WILL BE MAILED STILL SEALED IN THE THIRD MAN BOX
September 2003 was a moment of transition. Not two months prior, the entire existence of the White Stripes was nervously put on hold as Jack White recovered (quickly) from a car crash broken finger, the effects of which had the potential to be catastrophic. Ultimately it only briefly inhibited him from playing the D minor chord on guitar.
Once back into the swing of things, with the profile of the band continuing to rise in the wake of Elephant’s release, the shows started to take on a life of their own. Whereas the performances had always been compelling and engaging, this return to stage found the band measurably more ferocious. The unplanned respite, however fleeting, was just the right timing to give Jack and Meg perspective, catch their breaths, and hit back like a fucking rocket.
In the midst of the run of shows in September 2003, a promotional idea was cooked up by the team at V2 Records – 40 or so fans would be flown out to the White Stripes show at the Joint (at the Hard Rock Casino) in Las Vegas, get a meet-and-greet with the band, and then some time afterward be presented with a vinyl pressing of that evening’s show.
The original pressing is sparse to say the least. With no printed artwork, tracklisting or even credits “The White Stripes Live In Las Vegas” rubber-stamped on the labels is the only true identifier on this record. A dip through the original paperwork shows only 100 copies were ever pressed, all at United Record Pressing in Nashville.
In celebration of twenty years since the performance, the 58th Vault package from Third Man Records is the first-ever commercially available pressing of the White Stripes triple LP Live In Las Vegas.
