White Stripes & The Great White Penguin

The White Stripes have been very quiet of late; they haven’t released anything since 2007’s Conquest single. Meanwhile Jack White has been a busy bee with the Raconteurs and his latest spin-off The Dead Weather, not to mention building a new studio and his own record label. Many fear the Stripes maybe be dressed in black and six feet under.

So to keep the fans interested come a fans wet dream; a box set of such limited edition that ducks teeth and golden eggs seem common by comparison.

The White Stripes: Under Great White Northern Lights, which was filmed during the Canadian leg of the last tour and debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, where White made a guest spot and copied kanye west’s outburst at Taylor Swift.

And in truth it’s a super special edition of the new DVD, But rather than add a few extra scenes, whole new dimensions are added. The whole soundtrack is put onto both Vinyl and CD, and comes with a hardback photobook of the tour.

Not finished there though, oh no. Also included is the bonus DVD Under Nova Scotian Lights, showing the band’s 10^th anniversary show. AND an exclusive 7” vinyl of Icky Thump Live and The Wheels On The Bus. All wrapped in unique artwork set within a sturdy box sporting a strange looking penguin.

So how much will it cost for all this? A mere £110, and the price is set to rise after the new year. A full review will be done once the money can be raised.

So, while Jack promises another Dead Weather album early next year and a Stripes album after that, this is the best fans can get. Not too shabby.
