All copies of the hand painted versions that Ben Blackwell sold at the show were numbered and on reddish/white vinyl. In the runout groove is 'lafayette we have returned.' Each hand-painted sleeve has a unique design. Dave painted numbers 1-7, denoted by his "HW" over "B" signature, while Jack painted numbers 8-14, denoted by his "III" signature. They collaborated on number 15.The hand-painted singles sold for $6 at the record release party,and Dave and Jack split the money evenly (hey! What about Meg's cut?!). These were sold at a triple record release party (the other two were Hentchmen records) held at the Gold Dollar 23rd of October 1998. 20 of the remaining swirled copies included a French franc note and were given to friends and family. 

The inserts features a drawing of Lafayette meeting George Washington and a quote by Marquis de Chastellux (after attending an American Party with Marquis de Lafayette): "This was the first time I had heard Music in America and been presented at any sort of social gathering. If the inhabitants of this New World awake to a sense of the fine arts and learn to be gay and social without formal invitations and stiff introductory ceremony, they will not need to envy us anything."

Jack: Those records me and Dave Buick did when we hand-painted them [first two White Stripes singles]. Dave said one of them went for 2700 dollars. And somebody tried to fake one and got caught and he's not allowed to sell on there anymore. Those are some good ones. You remember that show when we painted those singles for Lafayette Blues? We pitched up six dollars for them. I remember me and Ben were talking, Aw that's too much! No-one's gonna buy it at the Gold Dollar for six dollars. Hahaha! Then we went in to sell them and you can't pick! You had to buy the first one, and there was a ton of people standing around waiting for someone to buy the first one, because they didn't want the first one. They wanted the tenth one. There was one with a giant picture of Meg sticking her tongue out on one of them, which Dave made. It's funny stuff - thinking no-one's gonna buy them for 6 dollars, now they're going for 2700!
Meg: No-one's gonna buy this, they haven't even got sleeves. They had to make up the sleeves!
