SELECTIONS FROM: THE WHITE STRIPES / ELEPHANT
Elephant is the White Stripes' fourth full album and the second to be released by V2 Records. It was recorded over two weeks in April 2002 in London's Toe Rag Studios. Jack White produced the album with antiquated equipment, including an eight-track tape machine and pre-1960s recording gear. As stated in the liner notes, White deliberately refrained from using computers during Elephant's writing, recording, or production. The White Stripes set their own rules while they were recording this album: ten days in a non modern studio. The Elephant album is said to be a combination of punk rock, blues-rock, and rock 'n' roll. In this album, the White Stripes attempted to achieve the idea of "Back to Basics" as well as encouraging other rockers to try the same way. Classic Stripes.
