The White Stripes to re-issue first two singles for Record Store Day

One of the most exciting Record Store Day releases is going to be the reissues of The White Stripes’ first two singles Let’s Shake Hands and Lafayette Blues.

Both singles were originally released in 1998, with the former backed by a cover of Marlene Dietrich’s Look Me Over Closely and the latter featuring Sugar Never Tasted So Good as the b-side. The limited-edition RSD reissues will be pressed on red/black swirled vinyl.

Jack’s Third Man HQ is getting fully into the swing of things for Record Store Day – booking none other than Jerry Lee Lewis for an in store performance.

Third Man Records will also release a 7″ single featuring the first official taste of White and Norah Jones’ contribution to Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi’s Rome project.

The release will consist of two album tracks: Two Against One and Black.

Also, Karen Elson, Jack’s wife will release a 7″ single featuring a cover of Lou Reed’s Vicious and an original B-side track entitled In Trouble With The Lord. The clear vinyl single will be limited to 1,000 copies.
