Third Man Records Releasing 20th Anniversary Vault Package #55 Of The White Stripes Elephant XX

Third Man Records is releasing Vault Package #55 The White Stripes – Elephant XX which is the 20th anniversary expanded edition of their 2003 album.  There is a MONO remix of the album on white and red vinyl, a 7-inch red glitter of Jack White’s “Hypnotize” demos, a DVD of never-seen footage and a 28-page booklet of unpublished photographs. The package is available through Third Man’s Vault Subscription and the cutoff to sign up for #55 is January 31st  at midnight CST. Jack White and Bill Skibble mixed the album from the original multitrack tapes and discovered forgotten bits of the music like four extra bars at the end of “Seven Nation Army.”  

White’s demo for “Hypnotize” is included with two mixes. He gave the song to local Detroit garage band The Hentchmen in 1998 but they never used it. A few years later The White Stripes made their recording of the song and it became one of the most favored in their catalog. The DVD has footage of them performing The Stooges’ “I Wanna Be Your Dog” in Japan, an unseen interview with Jack and Meg and more. The signup for Vault subscriptions can be found on the Third Man site.
