The Same Band You've Always Known

A month ago the White Stripes announced that they would cease to be but promised audio treasures from their recording vaults would be made available soon. News today then that the White Stripes' final gig recording is set to be released as a live album. Jack and Meg White's last show together took place on July 31, 2007 in Southaven, Mississippi. The album will come out on vinyl and has been given the ubiquitous title 'Live in Mississippi'.

(See below for the full track listing.)

The defunct band is also set to release a new DVD, 'Under Moorhead Lights All Fargo Night'. This release was recorded at Ralph’s Corner Bar in Moorhead, Minnesota on June 13, 2000.

Also, one of the White Stripes' first ever recordings, a cover of Love's 'Signed DC', will also be released on seven-inch vinyl. It also features a B-side: a cover of Otis Redding's 'I’ve Been Loving You Too Long'.

These releases are the first of those promised in the statement the band put out when they announced their split in February. They will only be available via Jack White's subscriberVault fan community scheme.
