Jack White continue de farfouiller dans ses archives et prévoit la sortie de « White Blood Cells XX » pour les 20 ans de l’album ! Yep ! 20 ans. Alors bien sûr, ce sera tout beau, tout en vinyles et blindé de petites raretés comme un DVD d’une heure dédié à l’enregistrement de l’album.
“In February 2001, Jack and Meg White hopped into their trusty Dodge van and made their way down south to Easley-McCain Recording in Memphis, Tennessee. Inspired and electrified by their recent overseas touring and the increasingly rabid reaction to their live performances, the White Stripes would, for the first time, record an album outside of their hometown Detroit.
“Interviews at the time had Jack postulating that the record might stretch to a double LP length and while that didn’t happen, the fruit born from the sessions proved markedly unique in the band’s canon.”
Pour la peine, le groupe a partagé un extrait de l’enregistrement en studio ainsi qu’une prise alternative du titre « Fell In Love With A Girl ».
Et pour chopper la dite réédition, il vous faudra vous inscrire sur le site Third Man Records avant le 30 Avril.
