The White Stripes - Dead Leaves 7'' (Third Man, 2012)

This White Stripes release is part of their subscription-only Vault releases, so you're going to have to get on eBay if you want a physical copy, or...um..."dig around" online if you just want to hear the songs - the front side being "Dead Leaves" and the flip "Let's Build A Home".  These are alternate takes of these classic songs, though you'd have to be a Stripes superfan to really spot the difference.  I guess it's fitting that this is aimed at the obsessives and collector nerds, because regular aficionados like myself will get by fine with the regular albums these tracks are on (which would be "White Blood Cells" and "De Stijl").  Awesome songs though, obviously, just not a crucial item to own.
