The Vault Package #63: The White Stripes – Get Behind Me Satan XX box set features a Blu-ray documentary
Third Man Records is proud to announce Get Behind Me Satan XX, the 20th anniversary companion release to The White Stripes’ fifth album and the 63rd entry of its long-running vinyl subscription service The Vault. Included in this package are songwriting demos, alternate studio takes, and live versions of the songs found on the album across two LPs and a 7-inch, a Blu-ray containing footage from the band’s 2005 Central and South American tour, and more. Fans have until January 31st to sign-up for the package.
Get Behind Me Satan is the most misunderstood entry in the White Stripes discography. Often mistaken as a breakup album, a treatise on fame, or a “piano” album, the record is most accurately described in Jack White’s words as focused on the truth. The fact that it was in no way Elephant, Part 2 only further confused, infuriated, and/or beguiled many.
Disc one is pressed on opaque red vinyl while disc two is pressed on white vinyl. A bonus seven-inch single with two outlier rehearsal recordings is also included featuring “Forever For Her (Is Over For Me)” and. “Spitting Tacks.”
A documentary captured by David James Swanson during the band’s Central and South American tour in 2005 is included on Blu-ray. Rounding out the set is an impressive, expansive archival booklet, complete with photos, concert posters, a comprehensive list of tour dates, and all the exhaustive details fans have come to expect from these anniversary editions.
