Product Information

In March of that same year, an Elephant deluxe edition was released, [42] [43] which includes live recordings from a performance in Chicago's Aragon Ballroom. NME noted that "The eloquence, barbarism, tenderness and sweat-drenched vitality of Elephant make it the most fully-realised White Stripes album yet. It spawned the hit single " Seven Nation Army" which has continued to experience commercial success and became a sports anthem. The soundstage just fills the room, and everything just is clear, detailed while feeling natural sounding.

In an interview with Q Magazine in 2007, Jack White said, "If you study the picture carefully, Meg and I are elephant ears in a head-on elephant.

Pressing is hardly audiophile quality and very slightly veiled, but sound is punchy and raw with drums a particular highlight. Elephant has received critical acclaim and it's often cited as the White Stripe's best work, including receiving a nomination for Album of the Year and a win for Best Alternative Music Album at the 46th Grammy Awards in 2004. Hods of air and space around the instruments and vocals compared to the UK first pressing which has been my go to pressing since 2003.

The UK vinyl album cover is the same as the US CD but differs in that the color hues are much darker. The White Stripes thank God, family, and everyone who helped make this record, and/or inspire it, with special thanks to David Frozen Swanson for his help, documentation, and friendship.
