Album Club: The White Stripes - Elephant

Steve Lamacq Album Club

Steve Lamacq marks the 20th anniversary of the White Stripes album Elephant by playing the album in full. Join in the conversation via #6MusicAlbumClub.

20 years ago this week, The White Stripes released their ground-breaking album Elephant, and to celebrate the anniversary, Steve Lamacq plays the album in full as part of the 6 Music Album Club.

Elephant was The White Stripes鈥� fourth album, released in 2003 through XL in the UK and V2 in the US and elsewhere. The album was recorded at London鈥檚 Toe Rag Studios in a single two week period - with the exception of the album's final track 鈥榃ell, It's True That We Love One Another鈥�, which was recorded separately at the same studio, and their version of 鈥業 Just Don鈥檛 Know What To Do With Myself鈥�, which was recorded at the 大象传媒鈥檚 Maida Vale Studios. The Detroit duo went back to basics with the album, using an 8-track tape machine and recording equipment predating 1963 instead of computers.

The album starts with the song that took over the world, Seven Nation Army, now a stadium chant known around the world by football and soccer fans alike. It peaked #6 on the US Billboards 200 while also topping the UKs official album chart and won Best Alternative Music Album at the 2004 Grammys.
