Description

The White Stripes - Lafayette Blues b/w Sugar Never Tasted So Good

on Italy Records - Detroit


What we have here is an EXTREMELY rare copy of "Lafayette Blues" complete with an inscribed 10-Franc note.  The 10-Franc inserts only went to Jack White's siblings, so there's only NINE of these in existence.  The insert has this particular sibling's name on the right hand side of the Franc note in the first scan that was HAND-WRITTEN by Jack White.  Name will be visible only to the auction winner.  Some copies also came with 2-franc notes or 5-franc notes...those went to friends and people thanked on the sleeve.

Vinyl itself is pristine with no visible flaws and looks like it has never been played.  Most copies of this record with Franc-note inserts are usually on a red/white (or pink) swirl vinyl. This copy is definitively white with no hints of marbling or flecking.

The record also comes with the standard Marquis de Chastellux quote and George Washington/Lafayette inserts.  Sleeve has a small 1/4" bend in the upper right-hand corner that is almost imperceptible, but is being divulged so there are no surprises.

Other copies with 10-franc note inserts have sold for over $4000 in the past but the reserve here is much more conservative so bid early and bid often.

Record comes with a Letter of Authenticity from official White Stripes archivist Ben Blackwell certifying the legitimacy of this record.

Truly a one-of-a-kind item that you may never see again.
