Just grabbed the vinyl version of Icky Thump last night. I'm not usually one to spring extra cash for the deluxe vinyl stuff, but I had to fork over the 30 bucks since they are one of my favorite modern bands and the vinyl was supposedly agonized over from a sonic perspective. Well, got home, put it on and was blown away. It's easily the best sounding rock vinyl I've heard in quite a long time. The bass is amazingly deep, the wax in silent, the packaging is superb. They didn't miss a beat with this one. If you like the White Stripes at all and if you like vinyl, this is one case where spending a little extra is probably a pretty good idea.
