Between the release of their first and second LPs, the White’s had divorced with Jack thinking the band was over. However, Meg pursued him that they could keep working together. Recorded in Jack White’s living room on an eight track analogue tape machine, this was named after the Dutch art movement of the same name. Translated into English, it means ‘The Style’. The group also released a stand along single of Captain Beefheart covers.
For this, the second volume in our White Stripes deluxe series, Disc 1 consists of the LP along with period singles. The studio tracks on Disc 2 were originally released as ‘De Stijl XX’, with the live tracks on the Third Man Records Vault package, ‘Live In Detroit’ fro 2017. Disc 3 was originally released as ‘Live Under The Lights of the Rising Sun’ as part of Vault package 21 from 2014.
