## Description

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing housed in a Stoughton tip-on sleeve. Recorded in a cold, amenity-free studio during the Midwestern winter of 1999, The White Stripes debut LP stands alone as the most raw, unpolished and "Detroit"-sounding recording The White Stripes would ever birth. They got their start on Bastille Day, 1996, when Meg started messing around on Jack's drum set, and Jack found it the most "liberating, refreshing" sound, like that of a lark. And so is her drumming, often called "primal" for it's simplicity. The once-married couple long-pretended to be siblings, and they seem to make the most of their partnership: they dress similarly, and only in shades of red, black or white. This debut EP is evocative of punk, metal, blues and arena rock, even as it meets all these marks in measured economy. And there's covers on here, too: Robert Johnson's "Stop Breakin' Down" and Bob Dylan's "One More Cup of Coffee." Both are haunting and very worth listening to.

Review: Cd got here on time and in great condition - White Stripes 1st cd is one of their best. Great songs not on compilation discs
Review: Back in 1999, they were already good! - **Intro** This was the first full album that The White Stripes made. Some bands need to make 2-3 albums before they really get good and have their mature, marketable sound. With The White Stripes, I would say that they were excellent right from the start, even though many listeners have not heard the songs on this album since they didn't get much radio play time, and the band wasn't known much outside of Detroit when this album came out. In that way, many listeners will feel like they are tapping secret music by the White Stripes right at their beginning. **The music** Jack White was already super good at playing guitar when they recorded this album. There are trick guitar sounds, lots of deliberate inflections of the tones, and there's a wide variety of timbres including twangy, scratchy, nasal, and percussive. You'll hear Meg White do just a few vocals, as is typical. Meg's drumming is simple, and has slightly imperfect rhythm, just in other White Stripes work. I would say the quality of the songs is pretty uniform - there aren't really duds or shining singles that overshadow the rest. That said, I would particularly recommend "The Big Three Killed My Baby," and "Astro." In all songs, Jack White's scratchy, piercing voice helps to suggest the image of a bourgeois or troubadour. **Lo-Fi** The whole album sounds like Jack White showed up at your garage or basement man-cave on a warm Sunday afternoon, and asked if he could set up a beat up amp and put on a practice session on the spot. This album is the opposite of over-produced, it's minimally produced. This helps also to serve the bourgeois/troubadour personality that it has. Troubadours can't afford recording studios or auto-tune. The recording sounds dry, with little echo. There is some hissing and scratching, like you might expect on a 20 year old vinyl record with a beat up jacket that you found in your basement. **Summary** I recommend this album with no reservations. Buy it if you like The White Stripes or classic rock. It should have been played on the radio more than it was, except the band was still unknown at this point. If you buy this album, you'll learn about "new" White Stripes songs that you didn't know about. Unlike other bands, this early White Stripes album was already very very good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds real
*by C***7 on October 2, 2004*

I don't normally care for "pop" bands but I had to see what all the fuss was about. Well, it was a successful experiment as this is a great record. I was most impressed with the recording, which does not sound like the usual overly-produced crap but rather much more real, raw, analog-ish and with natural ambience and that campy spring reverb sound from an amp-don't hear that very often, so that's cool. I also like how they overdrive the vocals on some tracks, it actually works and doesn't come across as corny, like the phone EQ effect. (don't know if this is an overloaded mic pre or as another poster said, they were sent through a guitar cab) The guitar tones are great too - they sound like amp cabs, not the usual dry, direct-inject sound you usually hear. I downloaded this one from iTunes originally, but let's face it - iTunes is half-arsed. You don't own anything but a bunch of lousy computer files and have no liner notes which might reveal anything slightly interesting about the record. Feh! So I intend to buy the disc anyway. I'm sure you could point to a dozen bands they may or may not sound like but I don't much care about all that. It's just fun, well-executed rock and blues with a proper recording which doesn't make everything sound fake like most pop. That can only be a good thing. I wonder if it is peak-limited though? Hmmmm...
