7" Vinyl Single: THE WHITE STRIPES – Lord, Send Me an Angel b/w You're Pretty Good Looking (Trendy American Remix)
Sympathy for the Record Industry (SFTRI), 2000. Made in the USA. Vinyl is a see-through (i.e. transparent) red color. See photo #3. Produced & Recorded by Jack White.
I *might* have purchased this at a White Stripes concert merch table (I saw them ONCE at the Empty Bottle in Chicago). Or, I purchased it at a record store. Either way, I bought it to collect and it has never been played. It has an outer plastic sleeve protecting the red, white and black front cover (and black & white rear cover - see photos 1 + 2). Red vinyl 7" record is housed inside a white sleeve insert (see photo #3), the outer sleeve is one sheet of paper folded in half, so it really needs that white inner cover and clear plastic outer cover to keep it nice.
Track One information from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord,_Send_Me_an_Angel
"Lord, Send Me an Angel" is a song by Blind Willie McTell of which two versions were recorded on September 19, 1933 in New York, with Curley Weaver on second guitar. Accompanied by his wife, Kate, McTell re-recorded it as "Ticket Agent Blues" in 1935, albeit with some alternate verses. This was used as the B-side to his single "Bell Street Blues" on Decca Records. The song was covered by Detroit, Michigan garage rock band, The White Stripes, which was released as a single in October 2000.
Track Two - "You're Pretty Good Looking" (Trendy American Remix) is an original Jack White composition.If you remember, The White Stripes were originally billed as a brother/sister duo who started/joined the whole super cool late 90's Detroit Garage Rock secne that included The Von Bondies, The Greenhornes and others. Turns out they were a divorced couple. Jack White taught Meg White how to play drums. Remember when Jack walked into a club and punched Jason "Von Bondie" Stollmeier in the face? Next thing you know, The Von Bondies were on the theme for the TV Show Rescue Me! LOL Publicity Stunt Extraordinaire or an incredibly small Detroit scene where everyone was super competitive? More info on The White Stripes below from Wikipedia:
"The White Stripes was an American rock duo, formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan. The group consisted of Jack White (songwriter, vocals, guitar, bass and keyboards) and Meg White (drums and occasional vocals), who were married from 1996 to 2000.[2][3] After releasing several singles and three albums within the Detroit music scene, the White Stripes rose to prominence in 2002, as part of the garage rock revival scene. Their successful and critically acclaimed albums White Blood Cells and Elephant drew attention from a large variety of media outlets in the United States and the United Kingdom, with the single "Seven Nation Army" and its now-iconic guitar line becoming a huge hit. The band recorded two more albums, Get Behind Me Satan in 2005 and Icky Thump in 2007, and dissolved in 2011 after a lengthy hiatus from performing and recording.[4]
The White Stripes used a low-fidelity approach to writing and recording. Their music featured a melding of garage rock and blues influences and a raw simplicity of composition, arrangement, and performance. The duo was also noted for their fashion and design aesthetic which featured a simple color scheme of red, white, and black – which was used on every album and single cover the band released – as well as the band's obsession with the number three. The band's discography consists of six studio albums, one live album, two extended plays (EP), one concert film, one tour documentary, twenty-six singles, and fourteen music videos. Their last three albums each won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.[5]"

Meanwhile, there are like 6 versions of this single out there. This is the red vinyl one on Sympathy For The Record Industry Records. It may have been produced in a limited edition before the black vinyl copy was printed. They both have the same item numbers. Here's the information I found, copied directly from:

There is a chance this is a limited edition tour only promotional single initially printed for a Pacific Rim (Australia, Japan, etc.) tour. If I bought this at a show, this makes sense as it could have been left over. I can not prove this. But supposedly the red transparent vinyl version of this record was a tour only copy. The black vinyl version was sold in stores. I only found this from Googling around. I can NOT PROVE THIS. But it is true that this is brand new, red vinyl, perfect condition White Stripes single that I can't remember where I got it. I definitely never played it.

This is one of about 400 records I’ll be selling on eBay. Shipping is FREE in the USA. I’m happy to combine your orders if you let me know. Straight auction $5.00 to start – remember this includes USPS shipping with tracking. It’s taking me a while to get through these but be patient with me. I promise to sell these all through summer so save my user name youngauntjulie and keep checking back.
I started my eBaying in 1998 buying and selling records and CD’s but then the Internet came along and killed the record business. Some of the singles I’ll be selling will be super-rare, others will not be. All will be in pretty good shape, some totally unplayed, and bought just to collect. Punk, Mod, Ska, Sub Pop, Lookout! Half a Cow! (US, UK, Australia) – you name it, I’ve probably got it.
So save my seller name “youngauntjulie” by clicking where it says "favorite sellers" around where my name is located on this page.AND keep checking back. I’ve got some good, even GREAT stuff. I’ve even got record stores calling me to sell my record collection for $500 – a buck a record, give or take. I’d rather you guys have them at the price they’re worth. I’m starting at $5 because that covers my cost and shipping and you get a great piece of vinyl.
International Buyers - PLEASE EMAIL ME FOR COST. Shipping is NOT FREE to other countries. However, after giving a couple of estimates – it’s gonna be something like $6 USD to Europe, more if you purchase two items, less if the record weighs less (between 4 and 6 ounces, plus 35 to 50 cents for packing). I do weigh it as if it’s being shipped to get the weight so I can check the USPS website. That’s why I'll have to give you an estimate in advance so you know how much it will be. I prefer to ship to the USA, however, I am open to international buyers who use PayPal. PLEASE email me with questions. Thanks again.
Love you and I’m glad to know my records are going to a good home. xooxox, julie.
