You are bidding for a U.S. pressing of ELEPHANT by THE WHITE STRIPES. It is a double vinyl with one red & one white disc & is in EXCELLENT unmarked condition - rarely played.
The White Stripes' fourth album, Elephant, was released in 2003. It was their first UK chart-topping album, as well as their first US Top 10 album. The album eventually reached double platinum certification in Britain,[48] and platinum certification in the United States.[49]
Elephant was recorded in 2002 over the span of two weeks with British recording engineer Liam Watson at his Toe Rag Studios in London. Jack White self-produced the album with antiquated equipment, including a duct-taped 8-track tape machine and pre-1960s recording gear.[50]
Elephant garnered much critical acclaim upon its release.[39] It received a perfect 5 out of 5 star rating from Rolling Stone magazine, and enjoys a near-unanimous 92% positive rating onMetacritic.[51][52] Despite the band's increased fame, Allmusic believed the album "sounds even more pissed-off, paranoid, and stunning than its predecessor... Darker and more difficult than White Blood Cells."[53] Elephant was additionally notable for premiering Jack White's first formal use of guitar soloing, and Rolling Stone Magazine placed him at #17 on its list of "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".[54] That same year, Elephant was ranked number 390 on the magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".[55]
The album's first single, "Seven Nation Army", was the band's most successful yet. Its success was followed with a cover of Burt Bacharach's "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself." The album's third single was the successful "The Hardest Button to Button". "There's No Home for You Here" was the fourth single. In 2004, the album won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album, while "Seven Nation Army" won a Grammy for Best Rock Song.
