The White Stripes' Elephant on UHQR 200g 45RPM Clarity Vinyl 2LP: Mastered Directly From the Original Master Tape by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound and Pressed at Quality Record Pressings

The fourth studio album by the American rock duo the White Stripes was an extraordinary success. It peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard charts and topped the U.K. Albums Charts. To date it's sold 4 million copies worldwide, achieving platinum sales certification from the Recording Industry Association of America and 3x platinum from the British Phonographic Industry. It spawned the hit single "Seven Nation Army," the band's signature track that's become a sports anthem, plus the hits "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself," "The Hardest Button to Button" and "There's No Home for You Here." Elephant has received critical acclaim and it's often cited as the White Stripe's best work, including receiving a nomination for Album of the Year and a win for Best Alternative Music Album at the 46th Grammy Awards in 2004.

Rolling Stone ranked the album No. 449 on its 2020 list of the 500 Best Albums of All Time. The Stripes, it said, exploded out of Detroit with a minimalist garage-blues attack: just Jack White on guitar and Meg White on drums, taking on the world.

To give Elephant the sound and signature packaging it deserves, Analogue Productions and Third Man Records have teamed up for the ultimate reissue edition in UHQR format on Clarity Vinyl. It comes with gold foil numbered jackets, housed in a premium slipcase with a wooden dowel spine.

This UHQR is remastered at 45RPM by Sterling Sound's Ryan K. Smith from the original analog master tapes. Each UHQR is pressed at Quality Record Pressings (QRP) using Clarity Vinyl. From the lead-in groove to the run-out groove, there is no pitch to the profile, allowing the customer's stylus to play truly perpendicular to the grooves from edge to center. Every UHQR is hand inspected upon pressing completion.
