              The White Stripes

                   Rare “Elephant” 1st pressing

                  Alternate cover and colored vinyl 2 LP set

Jokingly referred to as the White Stripes' British album, Elephant is scattered with cultural references that give away the fact it was recorded far from home. Just listen to the lyrics on "Seven Nation Army" ("From the Queen of England to the hounds of Hell") or the album outro, in which someone chips in, "Jolly good, cup of tea?" But while there are new twists here, from Meg White discovering her voice to a tongue-in-cheek threesome with Holly Golightly, Elephant is no great departure for Jack and Meg White. They still push their creativity (and the boundaries of their eight-track) to new heights. Check out the startling, Queen inspired "There's No Home for You Here," while the deep bass line on "Seven Nation Army" makes it a classic indie dance track. But while some songs fly off into new realms, there's plenty of their trademark straight-up bluesy rock, notably the overtly sexual "Ball and Biscuit." And there's Jack's plaintive, resolutely modest and yet theatrical voice.

Original and OUT OF PRINT 14-song, double full-length 12" vinyl LP set in gatefold Jacket as issued by V2 Records in 2003.

One LP is pressed on white vinyl and the other on red vinyl and comes with printed inner sleeves.

This item was factory sealed but only opened to check for colored vinyl and/or (first pressing).

Shrink wrap was left on the LP.

As a bonus you’ll notice the alternative outtake photo on the cover. Meg is wearing black. (see photo)

Most all copies have her dressed in white. Even the other 1st pressings have the normal cover with her wearing white. This is truly a rare White Stripes collectable.
