White Stripes $18K Record
10/21/2010
.
(Gibson) A copy of the White Stripes' second single, "Lafayette Blues," sold last week for $18,000, according to Consequence of Sound. Although the single had a wide release in 1998, only 15 copies were hand-painted by singer-guitarist Jack White and his then-label boss David Buick. The Italy Records release faced cover-printing delays prior to its release at Gold Dollar in Detroit. Third Man Records, White's label, organized the most recent sale of the single. This particular record was painted by Buick. It's likely that a White-painted copy would go for much more. - more on this story
