Third Man Records has announced the release of the 58th installment of their Vault series with The White Stripes – Live in Las Vegas. Paired with the 2003 set is a special bonus 7” featuring Bob Dylan’s 2004 performance of the eternal White Stripes favorite “Ball and Biscuit” featuring Jack White, and on the flip side, the first-ever performance of the track.
The aforementioned collaboration occurred on March 17, 2004, when Bob Dylan brought out Jack White for a live rendition of “Ball And Biscuit” at the State Theater in Detroit—the team-up marks one of maybe two songs Dylan has covered from this century. The memorable moment has been available via audience-sourced bootleg audio. Still, Third Man, in partnership with Sony Music Entertainment, went back to the original multitrack recording and put together a fresh mix of the audio.
The flipside to the single is the first-ever live performance of “Ball And Biscuit” by the White Stripes, from May 2, 2002, at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London. It was recorded in the middle of the two-week stint while the band was tracking Elephant at Toe Rag Studio in Hackney. The impending deliverable is pressed on glittery red vinyl, and the physical presentation also features artwork a la Chris Everhart.
Order by midnight central time on October 31 at www.thirdmanrecords.com to receive a copy.
