Rock God, Jack White and his record label, Third Man Records have announced their “Vault Package” series, which will see the release of a double-LP of rare recordings of The White Stripes live shoes titled Live Under the Lights of the Rising Sun. The recorded material was taken during the duo’s Tokyo 2000 shows and will be on black and red vinyl.
The album captures the entirety of both Tokyo performances, featuring covers of the 5.6.7.8’s’ (that night’s headliners) “I Walk Like Jayne Mansfield,” Iggy Pop’s “I’m Bored” and pre-White Blood Cells “Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground.” Hear a preview of the band doing “Hello Operator” live below.

Along with the White Stripes material, Third Man will also be releasing a two-song 7-inch by the Dead Weather on golden vinyl.
