Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing housed in a Stoughton tip-on sleeve. Recorded in a cold, amenity-free studio during the Midwestern winter of 1999, The White Stripes debut LP stands alone as the most raw, unpolished and Detroit-sounding recording The White Stripes would ever birth. They got their start on Bastille Day, 1996, when Meg started messing around on Jack's drum set, and Jack found it the most liberating, refreshing sound, like that of a lark. And so is her drumming, often called primal for it's simplicity. The once-married couple long-pretended to be siblings, and they seem to make the most of their partnership: they dress similarly, and only in shades of red, black or white. This debut EP is evocative of punk, metal, blues and arena rock, even as it meets all these marks in measured economy. And there's covers on here, too: Robert Johnson's Stop Breakin' Down and Bob Dylan's One More Cup of Coffee. Both are haunting and very worth listening to. Jimmy the Exploder, Stop Breaking Down, The Big Three Killed My Baby, Suzy Lee, Sugar Never Tasted So Good, Wasting My Time, Cannon, Astro, Broken Bricks, When I Hear My Name, Do, Screwdriver, One More Cup of Coffee, Little People, Slicker Drips, St. James Infirmary Blues, I Fought Piranhas
