The 46th Vault package contains an expanded version of the White Stripes’ Greatest Hits album featuring 3 colored LPs, three silk-screen prints designed by Rob Jones, and a White Stripes-themed set of poetry magnets, plus other WS themed inserts per photos here. ****Condition of package is MINT. Package only opened to verify contents**** the White Stripes’ Greatest Hits album compiles worthwhile tracks from the duo’s history, providing a comprehensive overview of the musical ground covered during their career, and – of course – reminding the world of what a “Greatest Hits” album ought to be. While the regular vinyl issue of the compilation album was a double-LP set titled My Sister Thanks You And I Thank You, the Vault variation is a 3-LP set titled “Aside From That And Besides This”, featuring a third disc filled with bonus B-sides and rarities. The first disc was pressed in white vinyl, the second in red vinyl, and the third (the B-sides disc) in splattered red-white-and-black "detonation" vinyl. The bonus items in this Vault package are three silk-screen prints designed by Rob Jones and a White Stripes-themed set of poetry magnets. What makes the Vault version of Greatest Hits special (aside from the colored vinyl and alternate Rob Jones cover art) is the exclusive third disc, which compiles non-album B-sides from many of the duo’s singles (and, in the case of “Lafayette Blues”, a non-album A-side as well). Unlike the other two discs, this disc does present its tracks in chronological order, starting with the 1998 B-side from “Let’s Shake Hands” (a cover of Marlene Dietrich’s 1954 song “Look Me Over Closely”) and ending with “Walking With A Ghost”, a Tegan and Sara cover from a 2005 EP of the same name. Among many other cover songs that turn up on this disc, Bob Dylan’s epic “Black Jack Davey” – a B-side track from the “Seven Nation Army” CD-single – is a particular standout. The acoustic cover of Loretta Lynn’s “Rated X” – a song about divorce performed by a divorcing couple – was recorded by Brendan Benson in a hotel room in 2001, and was the B-side to a single containing a similar recording of the titular “Hotel Yorba”, which unfortunately did not make it onto this disc. Major devotees of the Stripes will recognize some tracks as covers of songs from friends of the Whites, including Brendan Benson’s power-pop tune “Good To Me”, the Greenhornes’ retro-‘60’s rocker “Shelter Of Your Arms”, Blanche’s alt-country ballad “Who’s To Say”, and the Soledad Brothers’ psych-blues ballad “St. Ides Of March”. Some of the tracks show a higher-tech side of this duo, who are usually remembered for minimalism. The “Trendy American Remix” of “You’re Pretty Good Looking” (which was the 2000 B-side of “Lord, Send Me An Angel”) adds autotune to Jack’s voice; in retrospect, the bizarre electronic opus “Who’s A Big Baby?” – a 2005 CD-single B-side to “Blue Orchid” – foreshadowed the futuristic experiments of Jack’s 2018 solo album Boarding House Reach Another note for fellow vinyl aficionados: the practice of engraving text in the dead wax, or the runout grooves between the sticker and the last track’s grooves, is present in this package. The three-record set has “My Sister” carved in Side A, “Thanks You” carved in Side B, “And I” carved in Side C, “Thanks You” carved in Side D, “Side Til I Die” carved in Side E, and “De Meer Vak” carved in Side F. 3 LP Tracklist: A1Let's Shake Hands A2The Big Three Killed My Baby A3Fell In Love With A Girl A4Hello Operator A5I'm Slowly Turning Into You A6The Hardest Button To Button A7The Nurse B1Screwdriver B2Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground B3Death Letter Written-By – Son House B4We're Going To Be Friends B5The Denial Twist B6I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself Written-By – Burt Bacharach, Hal David B7Astro C1Conquest Written-By – Corky Robbins C2Jolene Written-By – Dolly Parton C3Hotel Yorba C4Apple Blossom C5Blue Orchid C6Ball And Biscuit D1I Fought Piranhas D2I Think I Smell A Rat D3Icky Thump D4My Doorbell D5You're Pretty Good Looking (For A Girl) D6Seven Nation Army E1Look Me Over Closely Written-By – Terry Gilkyson E2Lafayette Blues E3Red Bowling Ball Ruth E4You're Pretty Good Looking (Trendy American Remix) E5Rated X (Live At Hotel Yorba) Written-By – Loretta Lynn E6Who's To Say?
