White Stripes. Un box set per festeggiare i vent’anni del disco d’esordio

Era il 1999 quando uscì il primo, omonimo album dei White Stripes: per festeggiare i venti anni del disco, Third Man Records pubblicherà il box set celebrativo The White Stripes XX, come parte del suo Vault Subscription Service. La dead line per iscriversi al servizio e ricevere l’album è il prossimo 31 ottobre.

Il nuovo box set conterrà un booklet di 24 pagine, un LP con il Live At the Ritz risalente al ’99, un altro LP contenente varie outtakes relative alle session di registrazione di White Stripes e un DVD con ben due live completi della band (al Paycheck’s di Hamtramck e al Magic Stick di Detroit), sempre del 1999.

Pitchfork ha condiviso online l’outtake My Little Red Book, cover di un brano di Burt Bacharach. Potete ascoltarla nella pagina dedicata. Sulle nostre pagine potete invece leggere, tra le altre cose, anche la recensione dell’album – ormai diventato un classico del garage-rock – White Blood Cells.
