In celebration of the 20th anniversary of The White Stripes' third album, White Blood Cells, the band have announced an accompanying companion, called White Blood Cells XX.
The package includes 13 previously unreleased tracks (including demos and scrapped versions of fan favorites) pressed to red vinyl, an unearthed live recording from a gig at Headliner's in Louisville, KY (recorded September 6th, 2001) pressed to white vinyl, an hour-long DVD with behind-the-scenes footage from the White Blood Cells recording process, a full-color booklet of posters, flyers, and unseen photos; and more. To purchase a copy, sign up for Third Man's Vault subscription by April 30th at midnight CST.
For a preview of the collection, you can watch an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip taken from the DVD (which shows the band during a White Blood Cells recording session), and listen to an alternate take on "Fell In Love With A Girl" below.
