WHITE STRIPES - ICKY THUMP Vinyl 2xLP
With its title an Americanization of the Northern British phrase "ecky thump"_x009d_ and its cover featuring Jack and Meg bedecked as a Pearly King and Queen, "Icky Thump"_x009d_ is a centered, powerful statement as the final studio album from the duo.
Recorded in the lush environs of Nashville"™s Blackbird Studios, the trumpet, bagpipes and 1940"™s synthesizer all feel at appropriate here, driving home the idea that the White Stripes were consistent through whatever disparate elements they chose.
Cut directly from the original 1"_x009d_ master tapes, pressed at the state-of-the-art Third Man Pressing in Detroit, housed in a luxe Stoughton gatefold jacket and sealed with a custom...sealing sticker? "Icky Thump"_x009d_ is the Stripes release most-resembling a postage stamp, surely to appreciate in value like the Inverted Jenny.
