Description

"Hand Springs/Cedar Point '76" was a split 7" single released in 1999 by The White Stripes, with a B-side by The Dirtbombs. This is a very RARE Ltd. Ed. single in an edition of only 2,000 copies! The record is currently extremely rare, and a prized collector's item.

On "Hand Springs", between interludes of raucous, power chord-dominated riffage and crash cymbal bashing, Jack White calmly recounts the details of one particularly fateful day over a palm-muted open low E string and the rhythmic ticking of eighth notes on Meg White's hi-hat. In the song, Jack takes his girlfriend to a bowling alley and treats her to a Coke to atone for an earlier argument, but soon notices her flirting with a boy playing pinball. Out of fear of losing her, he drops a bowling ball through the pinball machine ("Are you quick enough to hit this ball, Mr. Clean?"), but despite his subsequent apology, he finds his girlfriend leaving with the other boy nevertheless. Noting that he had just thrown everything away, Jack muses "isn't it all just a big game?"

This record is in MINT condition.
