The White Stripes legacy will carry on thanks to Jack White’s Third Man Records. His label has announced a slew of White Stripes goodies for the eighth installment of its subscription program, The Vault. Some of the items include:
– A live recording of the band’s final performance on July 31st, 2007 in Southaven, Mississippi. Entitled Live in Mississippi, the record is presented in crystalline audio quality and spread across 2 LP’s pressed on 180-gram vinyl.
– A 7″ single featuring some of the band’s earliest recordings. The A-side is Signed DC originally done by the band Love on their self-titled debut record from 1966. The flipside is a rendition of the Otis Redding classic I’ve Been Loving You Too Long. “Recorded in Detroit in September of 1997 a mere two months after the Stripes’ live debut, this single provides a heretofore unheard era of the band,” explains Third Man. “Although their debut single Let’s Shake Hands wouldn’t be released for another eight months, this recording shows how fully-formed the general idea, aesthetic and approach of the White Stripes was from the very start.”
– A DVD entitled Under Moorhead Lights All Fargo Night featuring previously unseen footage from the band’s June 13, 2000 gig at Ralph’s Corner Bar in Moorhead, Minnesota. The performance was one of their first following the release of their sophomore album, De Stijl, and featured a cover of Iggy Pop’s I’m Bored.
