[MegBot3000]

This topic it dedicated to, and is for, and about all releases of Icky Thump by The Whites Stripes and the ghosts that walk among it.

i have a question. the icky thump that is single sided w/ the etching on the back (that goes w/ the rag n bone etching) and comes w/ throw away bag. whats the difference between that one and the one that have the rear end of the dead horse thats on the rag n bone picsleeve. are there two NME icky thumps?

[7th_son]

I'm not sure I understand your question, but the one that came in the throwaway bag is meant to go in the double sleeve that rag & bone (with NME) came in.

i was looking at this ebay auction

but im thinking maybe thats the inside of the Rag n bone 7" sleeve? im not sure. i know theres the rag n bone 7" and the throw away sleeve icky thump 7" that go together. is this something else?

Yeah, the Rag n Bone sleeve is a gatefold with slots for both singles. So that picture is what the inside looks like unfolded.

That's exactly what this is. Someone threw away the throw away sleeve.

Someone had a promo 12" single for sale, but they couldn't tell me what label made it. They said the deadwax had the inscription: "BEATUP 003" Any idea what this is, or if it is official? Plain white labels on both sides.

[higherlimits]

It's just a garbage remix for DJs. Not official...

[runofthemill]

Just what I needed to know, thanks!

I forgot that I even had it, but I've got a 7" picture disc that a local record store gave me when I bought the album from them.

Is this rare at all?

I think there were 1000 of these pic discs.
Nice items but you can pick them up for $15-$20, not hard to find.

Initially these were advertised as limited to 300 and then later it came out that there were 3000 of these picture discs.

I seem to remember reading that WB eventually made 6000 of these IT pic discs.

Wow, really?

I bought mine from Tower Records in NY, they said first 1000 CD orders got the vinyl also.

Maybe that 1000 was just Tower Records, and 3000/6000 was the total.

If the background to the picture of Jack and Meg is red then it's the version that they pressed 6000 of. On the other hand, if the background is white then it's much rarer than that
