Ongoing History Daily: Another rare White Stripes record

Jack White has always been into using vinyl records in clever ways, especially when it comes to offering rare and collectible releases. For example, in 2000, the White Stripes released a split single with their song “Hand Springs” on the A-side and a track from a Detroit band called The Dirt Bombs contributing a track entitled “Cedar Point ’76” on the B-side.

Only 2,000 copies were made and the only place you could find one was within the pages of the winter issue of Multiball, a fanzine devoted to pinball machines. The White Stripes track has turned up in a few other places—a compilation album and a Record Store Day release—but the true collectors want the pinball record.

If you want a copy for your collection, it’s available and surprisingly affordable. The average price is around US$75.
