Mixing striking live footage with poignant off-stage moments, The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights celebrates the band’s 10 year history by documenting Jack and Meg’s 2007 tour through every province and territory of Canada. Directed by Emmett Malloy, this visually stirring and emotive feature length film uniquely captures one of the world's most enigmatic bands playing to crowds in towns of all sizes across the Great White North - from traditional venues to matinee gigs at unusual locations such as a bowling alley, a boat and even on a city bus - culminating in a momentous 10th Anniversary show at the historic Savoy Theatre in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.

The double LP comes pressed on 180 gram black vinyl packaged in a gatefold jacket with a 6 panel insert unique to the box set. The CD accompanies the film and Anniversary show DVDs in a special 7” square 3 panel folder along with a 24 page bound booklet and slipcase.

- 7 inch vinyl featuring Icky Thump (Live) and The Wheels On The Bus (Live). Two versions available with different artwork and color of vinyl depending on your country of residence.

- 208 page hard cover book containing photographs of the Canadian tour shot by Autumn de Wilde with a foreword by Jim Jarmusch.

    someone on the ws message board found it on an australian website. however Ben Swank who works with the band just posted this...

    Hi Little Roomers,
    This is Ben Swank from Third Man Records here. I've never posted on The Little Room before, but in regards to the UGWNL set that is being discussed I think it's important to ask you all to not purchase from that site as full details are soon to be released that will be of interest to you all. Needless to say the site that is advertising the set is not an entirely accurate representation of the whole picture.
    I'd also like to point out that this information has not been released by anybody connected with The White Stripes, which is why it was not officially announced to Vault members and fans first.
    Thanks all,
    Ben


    but Jack has confirmed quite a few of the things in the supposed box set. so i'm sure that's pretty much what it's going to be. can't wait for the official announcement, which Ben said in a later post will be coming this week.

  • Looks great.

    I saw them in Blackpool a few years back and they were second only to Pearl Jam. Brilliant gig and I was gutted when they cancelled the Icky Thump tour.

    I wonder if they'll ever reform and tour again?
    It's gonna be a glorious day...

    Fucking COOL!
    I was at one of those shows, I don't know if I've ever been at a show that was filmed for an official release, for any band....wish I knew which songs were recorded where.
    I followed that tour pretty closely, and gained a HUGE amount of respect for those two because of it. Some of their matinee performances were just so above and beyond....but to go play the territories? Who else has done that....EVER?
    I have bought one box set in my entire life (no, not the Ten reissue)....but I'm all over this.

  • I wish you could buy the Nova Scotia DVD separate. I just can't justify the $179 as I don't use my turntable too much, and don't have it in University. I want the CDs and 2 DVDs.

    That thing is beautiful and I want it but can't afford it. The Canadian tour was awesome! Saw em in Toronto.
  • It's up for preorder now, looks to be a great item, really excited about this, especially FINALLY a live WS album (non-DVD).

    Pricey, but I will definitely be getting this. Third Man Records makes great products and I am sure this will rival the Ten reissue in quality.

  • Thanks for posting this, I just ordered mine and can't wait for march.
  • $179 US plus shipping? Jesus Christ, I was at the Winnipeg show, which kicked serious ass, but that's a lot of money. That would probably end up way over $200. And just around Christmas yet.

    My wife would seriously kill me if I ordered this! But I want it!!! :?

  • Just re-read the description.......I can get the book, the film, and the cd's seperately in the spring? Eggs-ellent. All the other stuff is just gravy. I can deal with meat only for this.

    I ordered it in Canada and it was $199 Canadian, shipping included. Better than I expected.

    I just got back from it. Very good. About an hour and a half long (least the part they showed was). Mainly showed the tour from Canada and some exclusive interviews during the show. Also they played some cool ass places in Canada. Takes me back before the Canada show I saw them in Delaware. :mrgreen:
