One of my favorite albums of all time. I literally listened to it in my classroom every morning my first year of teaching. I can mark my career by this album. 😭😭

Interesting: "Analog enthusiasts will be surprised to learn that merely copying a tape to digital (as happens with many newly-reissued commercial releases) even with the “right” machine and tape heads, is not the best way to do it. Audiophile Review talked with Jamie Howarth about his unique methods." audiophilereview.com/analog/plangent-a-better-way-to-transfer-analog-tape/

How can it be, 20 years!! I had this show up when I was living in the middle of nowhere, a friend's brother sent him a cd, we were literally sitting on porches at the end of dirt roads, didn't lock our doors, starving for some good music..... thank you Jack & co❀️

Wasn’t the album supposed to sound low tech?

my favorite album, can't wait for the vault package

Great album!

Wow!!! Is there any chance of this deluxe reissue coming to vinyl?

I looked at my old CD of this album the other day and thought, "Gosh, they look so young." I'm getting old.

Id rather stick to my lofi original vinyl copy.. thats its charm..digital (whammy pedal excluding) shouldn't figure anywhere on the first four stripes albums...

20 years already? Well time does really fly♥️ Great lyrics and music and image. Big respect to jack & meg ♥️ White stripes forever!

One of the best albums of all time.

20 years!? I still think of The White Stripes as a new rock band. :)

One of my favorite albums!!! Along with Icky Thump!

Felicitaciones son los mejore viejo man πŸ’ͺπŸΏβœŠπŸΏπŸ‘πŸΏπŸ˜Ž

My favourite album of them

Fan-fuckin-tastic Album

New music, please? @The White Stripes

Dead leaves on the dirty ground and I know you're not around

Pra mim o mais memorável da banda!

Time flies… remember the days of the release…I was bewitched by them. Had the honor of watching them at Rosikilde 2002 ❀️🀍❀️🀍

Super

June of 2001 would find The White Stripes playing three NYC gigs in as many nights, and the sense of impending greatness felt all but predetermined. The appearance of the likes of Kate Hudson, Chris Robinson, Jon Spencer, Vincent Gallo and PJ Harvey in the crowds at these gigs seemingly confirmed that. The recording here from June 17th (night two) at the Bowery Ballroom is a straight knockout...nary an errant move to distract from the supernova captured on tape, all inside a room that was clearly packed beyond its legal limit of 575 patrons. Twenty years to the day since its recording feels like as perfect a time as ever to share this corker with the world. Stream #thewhitestripes live at The Bowery Ballroom 6/17/2001 on nugs.net, listen here: 2nu.gs/ws60117 ... See MoreSee Less

Wait... the Bowery only held 500 people? Is that right? I always felt like it was so much bigger.

Great. πŸ™„ Can we have it on vinyl?

I learned how to play guitar off this album.

Well, if Kate Hudson was there…

Matthew Coleman

Great album i just listen all the songs.

Saw The Stripes Twice. I feel for Meg knowing what it's like to be worried about getting vertigo on stage. Great band. He's definitely The Willie Wonka of Rock N Roll on stage and I love the way she plays percussion!!!

The best of the world

Lo suben a spotify?

The White Stripes We need reunion in 2022.

🀟🀟🀟 spidey is here 🀟🀟🀟

Redd Blood Cells should be part of the remastered series.

I was at the Friday show on the 16th. I don’t remember seeing PJ Harvey that night but when I went to see her at the Bowery several (I think?) years earlier, I couldn’t actually see her because we are both short and I wasn’t able to muscle my way up to the front.

Right on man…πŸ€™πŸΌπŸ€™πŸΌ

Masterpiece

CD!!! Please πŸ™

Jack White for governor of Wisconsin

I love you guys <3

Just awesome talented true musicians that went together like jelly and ice-cream ....

De Stijl is my favorite, but the first one has something special

Funny that I randomly pulled this and De Stijl up on spotify yesterday. I miss this awesome group.

STORY TIME My uncle lent me a dvd of the white stripes under the Blackpool lights, I was about 11, (I'm now 29) I put it on before I fell asleep every night, I kept waking up to the same song, the bo weevil one at the end, after a month of waking up to the same song, It made me want to learn guitar. If anybody asks me about guitar, I make sure to tell them I got into Guitar because of jack white, every single white stripes song, to 99% of the raconteurs, but then went to british indi and now I'm into bluegrass like billy strings

I love how rough and raw their first two albums were.

Blew me away back in the day; influenced my life in a great way. Thank you!

I’m getting my Apple Blossom tattoo finished next month ❀️

It’s also 14 years since the last gig on UK soil. I was lucky enough to go to rivoli ballroom and Hyde park: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.4386268713&type=3

Their best album in my opinion.

Well I fought piranhas, and I fought the cold…

Great album. I Fought Pirhanas is still a favorite.

CLASSIC. 3 more years till the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, for what that's worth. They need White Stripes more than White Stripes need them but hopefully we'll get a reunion then.

At the time this came out, I didn't realize how rare it would be for a record to sound this perfect with so few instruments.

Raw and bluesy. Great album πŸ’Ώ

Drove by that fire station where the pictures for the album were taken, earlier today.

Now I FEEL really old! Love this vinyl.

Such a great album!! Thank You 🍻❀️

I love the white stripes my favorite band!!

love'seven nation army'

Still a favorite.

THIS WAS in constant rotation as soon as I got a copy.

By far the best album too.

Banger of an album, doesn't quit

Hey Jack give Meg a call, time for some new music maybe?
