Some additional stats ’n’ facts now about this album. I pre-ordered my own copy of the new 2LP Elephant set direct, and it will be interesting to compare it with the well-centered Third Man TMR 200 180g 2LP 10th anniversary reissue/repress - the version with the red-and-black color split on LP1, and the all-white LP2, that is - that I bought on Record Store Day back in 2013. I’ve already checked out a few of those live tracks myself, such as “The Hardest Button to Button (Live at The Aragon Ballroom, July 2, 2003),” and I wouldn’t be averse to getting all of them on a separate multidisc LP release at some point (hint, hint).
I should note there is also a deluxe digital edition of Elephant that comes out on March 31 - three weeks ahead of the 2LP release - that includes 27 live tracks from 2003 not in any way part of the 2LP set. If you want to see how they do what they do so well, you can visit Third Man Pressing right here. The vinyl was pressed at Third Man Pressing in Detroit, cut on restored 1574 Westrex tube amps “for that extra 3D sound!” (Their words, in quotes.) The SRP for this limited-edition LP set is $44.99. The audio was cut from the original ¼-inch mixdown masters by Wes Garland and Bill Skibbe at Nashville Record Productions. The Elephant LP pressing stats are these, as directly shared with me via White’s management. In the ongoing effort of releasing both new and reissued LPs under his Third Man Records banner, it’s just been announced that one of White’s previous bands, The White Stripes, will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their fourth studio album Elephant by releasing a limited edition 180g 2LP version of it on color vinyl - red smoke for LP1, and clear with red and black smoke for LP2 - on April 21. Okay, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch, but there’s no denying White is front and center when it comes to his all-out passion for vinyl. The song has grown in popularity due to its usage in sports its riff has been described as "ubiquitous", and the song has experienced increased commercial success, charting intermittently in multiple countries and receiving a gold certification from Germany's Federal Music Industry Association, a platinum certification from the Federation of the Italian Music Industry and a multi-platinum certification from the British Phonographic Industry.Jack White has vinyl in his veins. It has also served as a theme song for sports teams, personalities, and events, including the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
WHITE STRIPES SEVEN NATION ARMY SERIES
"Seven Nation Army" has become a sports anthem, commonly appearing in audience chants in which a series of "oh" sounds or the name of an athlete is sung to the tune of the song's riff. It won Best Rock Song at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards, and a music video for the song directed by Alex and Martin won Best Editing in a Video at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. In addition to praising its riff and drumbeat, critics have ranked "Seven Nation Army" as one of the best songs of the 2000s decade. The song charted in multiple countries, and its success contributed to the popularity of the White Stripes and the garage rock revival movement. Written and produced by Jack White, the song consists of distorted vocals, a simple drumbeat, and a bass-like riff created by playing a guitar through a pitch shift effect. It was released by XL Recordings and V2 Records in March 2003 as the lead single from the band's fourth studio album, Elephant, via 7-inch vinyl and CD formats. "Seven Nation Army" is a song by American rock duo The White Stripes.
