Forthe LP component we’ve dug into our literal vault and dusted off Karen Elson’slive performance from Third Man on May 24th, 2010. That evening we celebratedthe release of Elson’s debut LP The Ghost Who Walks and backed by her crackband. What was captured was a truly ethereal, vibrant recording that breathes alife into the songs that is wholly different from their studio versions.
Pairedwith the elegant recording of Karen Elson is an interactive record sleeve. Thefront cover depicts Elson in a field of peach with the striking image of herdress is die-cut. Coupled with a specially designed inner-sleeve, the listenercan effectively play “dress-up” with four different looks for Elson, dependingon the orientation of the sleeve. If that’s not enough, get rid of the sleevecompletely and you can arrange the vinyl itself, pressed on split-color peachand black vinyl (or Eclipse Vinyl), to create a 100% unique dress design.
Thebonus item for this Vault package is a DVD of the White Stripes titled UnderNew Zealand Lights. Made up of two different performances by the band onseparate trips to the island nation, we find them performing at the King’s Armsin Auckland in November 2000. This is some of the earliest known footage of theWhite Stripes outside North America (it was their first international tour) andfinds them confident and captivating before a unexpecting crowd.
ComeOctober 2003 and the White Stripes were slightly more known but still in-frontof a crowd they had to work considerably to win over. The audience was thestudent population of Freeman’s Bay Primary School. Jack and Meg provided anice primer on American blues history and the kids seemed to enjoy themselvesin this sweet, innocent performance that has been kept mostly under-wraps inthe nine years since it took place.
