Third Man’s Vault Package #13 will include the duo’s first ever live appearance together, at an open mic night in their home city of Detroit back in 1997, which is to be issued on a red 7″, while their maiden full show, which followed soon after at The Gold Dollar venue in Detroit, will be available on a white 12″ record.
Last week, a very rare copy of the White Stripes’ second single ‘Lafayette Blues‘, backed with ‘Sugar Never Tasted So Good‘, sold for a fee of almost $13,000 at auction.
The 7″, which is one of only 15 numbered copies and was originally flogged by Jack White for as little as $6 at Gold Dollar in the band’s early days, was eventually sold to a private collector for $12,700 (£8,100).
