Jack White will release an acoustic rarities collection on September 9.
Jack White Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016 is a career-spanning work which showcases remastered B-sides, alternative song versions and previously unreleased recordings from the former White Stripes man’s various music projects over the years – including his work with The Raconteurs and solo material.
The set also includes previously unheard White Stripes song City Lights, recorded for their 2005 album Get behind Me Satan, which can be listened to below.
The collection will be released on 2LP vinyl as well as a 2CD set. It can be pre-ordered on White’s label Third Man Records.
Earlier this month, Third Man Records recently played the first-ever vinyl record in space using a custom built turntable by balloon to celebrate the company’s seventh anniversary and third-millionth record pressing.
The craft reached a height of 94,413 feet while playing a gold-plated disc containing late astrophysicist Carl Sagan’s A Glorious Dawn recording on repeat.
The balloon burst after 81 minutes of flight and Icarus fell to Earth under a parachute – and it was still playing the record when it was recovered.
White said: “Our main goal was to inject imagination and inspiration into the daily discourse of music and vinyl lovers.
“It was exhilarating to do something that hasn’t been done before, and to work towards in completion.”
White was also recruited for the Nashville Council On Gender Equality last month.
