The White Stripes 8211 Elephant 2LP

Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing of this 2003 album. The White Stripes – songwriter Jack White (vocals, guitar, piano, and once bass) and Meg White (drums and occasional vocals) – formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan. After releasing several singles and three albums within the Detroit independent music underground, The White Stripes rose to prominence in 2002, as part of the Garage Rock revival scene. Their use of analog and low-fidelity equipment in the recording process partnered with a do-it-yourself approach created a raw simplicity of composition, arrangement, and performance that sets them apart from their contemporaries.
