Third Man Records' quarterly Vault subscription series has previously rolled out a string of Jack White-related rarities, and now the label has unveiled another batch of archival releases from the garage rock mogul's beloved band the White Stripes.
The label notes that this package was put together to acknowledge the 10th anniversary of the White Stripes' 2003 classic Elephant. It includes Nine Miles From the White City, a 79-minute live double-LP that was recorded at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom on July 2, 2003. The two records are red and white, respectively.
A press release notes, "The crystalline soundboard recording is best experienced through the impromptu, off-the-cuff performance of a song written on-the-spot that would be come to called 'Little Cream Soda.'" See the tracklist below.
The package also includes a 7-inch single with demo versions of the songs "I Want to Be the Boy to Warm Your Mother's Heart" and "Little Acorns." This has been pressed on red vinyl with black wisps.
The set is rounded out by Pictures from Elephant, a 56-page collection of photos taken during the Elephant recording sessions by David Swanson.
