Powered by singles like Hotel Yorba and Fell In Love With A Girl, White Blood Cells took The White Stripes into the mainstream in 2001.
The White Stripes have unveiled the details of a 20th anniversary edition (feel old again) of their third studio record White Blood Cells.
As teased recently on social media, the latest Third Man jewel will come with a bonus DVD of behind-the-scenes recording footage, as well as a booklet of posters, flyers and previously unseen photos.
“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,” the press for White Blood Cells XX reads.
“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.”
