Third Man Records, the Nashville-based record label founded by The White Stripes’ former frontman Jack White, is set to reissue the band’s classic 2000 sophomore album De Stijl. This reissue will be a 20th anniversary vault package, titled Vault Package #44 De Stijl 20th Anniversary Package.
Prospective buyers will need to sign up for the vault collection series by April 30th at midnight CST. The subscriptions are currently $65 for three months or $240 for twelve months.
The package will contain a hardcover case, an archival booklet filled with previously unseen photos, flyers and more, a white LP and a red LP full of previously unreleased recordings and covers, and a DVD containing two performances recorded during the time of the album’s release. This album was released right before the band released their first venture into commercial popularity with White Blood Cells.
De Stijl was noted for its punk blues style, along with its lo-fi and DIY production style, as it was self-recorded on an 8-track analog tape in White’s living room. The title is a reference to the Dutch art movement, which included artists such as Gerrit Rietveld, whose work inspired the band’s album cover. This project was originally released via Sympathy for the Record Industry.
White recently performed at a rally in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan, in support of Democratic presidential candidate and current United States Senator Bernie Sanders. White collaborated with the comedy music duo Tenacious D (which features actor Jack Black) last year for a Record Store Day Black Friday release.
