I'm feeling a huge sense of FOMO with not having ordered this when I had the chance...Look what arrived yesterday without a shipping notice... Haven't spun yet, but very excited to do so.

Yeah, I'm just keeping my eyes peeled on Discogs, but everything is significantly more than retail at the moment, so I'll just sit back and wait.mine came last week, but i haven't had a chance to sit down with it - i got the first one of these they did for the self titled, but didn't grab De Stijl or White BLood Cells and now I might go discogs hunting and just grab them all
I'm the opposite! Skipped self-titled but got the other two. Maybe I'll be also do the completionist thing?

I got mine last week and listened to it over the weekend. It does sound different being in mono and everything. I really love the studio chatter you can hear left in between the tracks.Look what arrived yesterday without a shipping notice... Haven't spun yet, but very excited to do so.

Icky Thump was a great release.Looks like I'm grabbing Elephant for not much more than retail.
Any other studio vaults that y'all would suggest?

Icky Thump was a great release.
ADD IT TO THE WANTLIST!Will second the Icky Thump X release — an amazing set of demos and extras in addition to the main album.

Just looked at Discogs and was like oh $74 isn't bad! Definitely a scam listing. I'll just resign myself to knowing that one is long gone.Also the mono Icky Thump vault release is fantastic. Though, it is the most rare vault release. Sorry to even bring it up.
What are your thoughts on White Blood Cells XX? Worth chasing?I'm the opposite! Skipped self-titled but got the other two. Maybe I'll be also do the completionist thing? Who knows...

It's mostly demos and a live show iirc. Unessential.
This is why I came here for advice. Thanks to both of you. I'll just focus on Icky Thump then. Waded through the scam postings and got Elephant coming now, which I'm pretty excited about.Correct me if I'm wrong but the only studio albums that have received any kind of vault treatment are Icky Thump (twice, one mono) and Elephant (mono).
of the White Stripes, yes. there are Vault variants of several of Jack's side projects but mostly just color variants or different art.Correct me if I'm wrong but the only studio albums that have received any kind of vault treatment are Icky Thump (twice, one mono) and Elephant (mono).
